Compound Words

We have been learning about compound words during grammar. As a check of their understanding of the concept, the students created a compound words foldable. They created the foldable by folding a large sheet of construction paper in a stage fold. They then folded the paper in half twice. This resulted in four boxes on each side of the stage fold. They then cut along the folded lines on the top flaps. On the flaps, they wrote the two root words that form the compound word and illustrated their meaning. Under the flaps, they wrote the compound word and illustrated that word's meaning.
