prefix trees
By Rebecca

Clip to ScrapBook   
I make prefix trees with my third graders. These trees are made of construction paper and placed on a wall. I choose three prefixes (un, re, dis) and label each tree. As students find words to put on the tree (on leaf cut outs) they write it on a leaf and have to tell the class what it means. You might even break up the class into three groups, letting each group find words for a particular prefix tree. My third graders enjoy this.
