We have been looking at contractions today, it did not run soothly.
Me: “I am going to read a word to you and I want you to tell me what words it is a contraction of. The word is Aren’t”
Lillian: “Aunty!”
Me: Can you please say your contractions to me before you go to free play time.”
Eli: “No!!!
Me: (insert random gentle persuasive words)
Eli: “AAAHhhhhggg!!!!” bangs fists down on the table “I cannot I can’t, I will not I won’t and you aren’t going to make me” Then runs off
Alanah: “Well….at least you got him to say his contractions.”
Very funny! Take a look in Penrith library they have a series of books by Brian P. Cleary called “Words are Catagorical.” It is the parts of speech done as ryhme. he also has a website with online games and teaching ideas.
Thanks for the link that website look cool I can see us spending a fair bit of time there.
LOL. Alanah is right! Eli was wrong, he can, he did 😀
That’s a priceless pic and quote!
Love it!!!
