Who are these kids...and why are they calling me "MOM"?

My contractions are 5 minutes apart!

Okay, not really.  Not even pregnant.
A friend has a grammar question:
How can she teach contractions, other than through repetition?  Any advice, books, websites, songs, etc. appreciated.
Thanks!

Hellooooooo?
Anyone home??
Would be nice to see your smiling face around here again...
Hey, I was thinking maybe Starfall might have something about contractions. www.starfall.com Your kids would enjoy some of that stuff. It helped Emily with her reading, and now she is doing super great!!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

LOL! When I read that title I thought it must have been longer than I thought since I had read your blog. Quite the attention grabber, it was!
My son learned contractions really well playing Study Dog-the free version. You can download it to your computer-it's a lot of fun.
Oh, and congrats on losing 20 lbs.
