For Teachers
💡 Teacher Tip
After introducing the difference between a part and apart, invite students to physically act it out. Have them stand together as “a part” of a group, then step away to show “apart.” This kinesthetic approach helps anchor abstract word distinctions in real-world experience, and it’s a great brain break too!
