Myself and Ourselves
A first look at reflexive pronouns.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 32
- Some pronouns end in self or selves. We use them when someone does something to themself, or all on their own.
- I made lunch by myself. Maya saw herself in the mirror. Leo built a fort by himself.
- For more than one, use selves: We did it ourselves. The kids cleaned up by themselves.
- Watch out for two words that aren't real: hisself and theirselves. Say himself and themselves instead!
Georgia's K-12 English Language Arts Standards:
- 2.L.GC.1.24 — Use reflexive pronouns.
