We're learning about contractions this week. I was completely exhausted after sending my students to their groups to be contraction detectives and find contractions in books. Here are a few (ahem) "highlights":
I lost 5 minutes of my life trying to convince a student that an apostrophe is NOT in fact a floating comma!
Quotation marks are not "a double apostrophe".
"one, two, three" is not a contraction! Those are commas used in a series. They are not apostrophes!
We'll be revisiting contractions and the apostrophes that go with them tomorrow...and the next day....and probably the next day after that!
