Opening:
1. Good morning boys and girls. Last night I went to Shop Rite and I bought
chocolate syrup and milk. When I got home I got out a cup, poured milk,
grabbed the chocolate syrup, and mixed it together with a spoon. After doing
that I realized there is a shorter way to make chocolate milk, that is buying
the chocolate syrup and milk together. Remember Contractions are a
shorter way of saying what you need to say.
Presentation:

on the board.

about what they are going to learn.
