How it works
As the teacher, you build up the excitement throughout the day, you will have a mini-lesson on contractions and how a hospital and surgery works. Then the students get to finally be word surgeons. They put on their gloves and mask and get to cutting their words. They add in the apostrophe, they make surgery notes on how it went, and a conclusion to how each surgery went.
Ask a local doctor or hospital to donate a class set of gloves and masks to really get the students excited. The students love the gloves and the masks. They will ask if they can take them home. The students become hyper-focused on their job as a surgeon and it engages the whole class.
There are additional games and activities that can be used before or on other days.
If your students haven’t been exposed to contractions, there are some mini-lessons and multiple activities for them to do so that they are prepared on surgery day.
Don’t forget that leaving feedback earns you points toward FREE TPT purchases. I love FEEDBACK!
