Awesome Apostrophes!

We have been learning all about the jobs of the apostrophe.  Students have learned that we use an apostrophe to show that a noun owns something and that we use it with pronouns to make contractions.  They got a firsthand experience being a doctor in class.  After getting prepared for surgery, students took two words and created contractions.  They used their mighty surgical tools; scissors, band aids, and their brains to do this.

    What a great idea. I know Garrett enjoyed this, and he has been making contractions at home.
