One of the Fourth Grade Common Core standards that I need to teach is learning to use Greek and Latin roots to help understand and build new vocabulary.
Last week we created root flip books using a printable from Laura Candler. Her website offers many great resources for teachers. I had the children find five words using their "root" and add an illustration on the front. They wrote out definitions on the inside. We used dictionaries and the interenet to find words: http://wordinfo.info.
I purchased a set of word wall cards and printed them small. I gave each student their own root to research. We then added them to our Root Word Wall.
