Contraction Caterpillars!

This activity was a quick one because my Dolphins are MASTERS at contractions. They really had a great time choosing which contractions to focus on and each managed to give their caterpillars a unique personality!
This will flow so well into our Insects and Plants unit next week!


We do this every year and every year I say, Thanks Amy Lemons for this idea!

Contractions

We've just begun learning about contractions and isn't it a beautiful thing when a Thinking Map just pops in perfectly to a lesson? 

When I first learned about Thinking Maps, the Bridge Map was the most intimidating because I wasn't sure how this grade level would do with them and the thinking that is associated with the Bridge. 


Once I got over my trepidation I found that opportunities to use the Bridge Map and boundless in 2nd grade!
