Contractions!

This idea is all over Pinterest....but I first read about it at The First Grade Parade. {love that blog}

Today, we performed surgery....on words....we took two words, cut out a letter, bandaged them up, and ended up with a contraction!....THE KIDS LOVED IT!!! and I'm pretty sure the kiddos got the idea....After the words were all cleaned up and school was out, I was DETERMINED to re-create the stinkin' cute doctor that I saw on The First Grade Parade....so I looked at the picture and free-handed it... I can't believe it... but I love how it turned out....and I cannot draw...it took me probably an hour {or more} to draw, color, laminate and cut out... but the results were totally worth it to me! I want to publically say thank you Cara Carroll, whoever you are, for your darling, fun ideas that children love, and for sharing them with everyone...bless you :)
