Prefix/Suffix Turkeys

I am SO FAR behind on my blog and have not posted in about a month. School has been incredibly busy and it takes all of my energy just to keep my head above water in the classroom. However, we are almost half way through the year and it is hard to believe how much my students have already learned and the progress they are making.  So, right before thanksgiving, I wanted to do something fun with prefixes and suffixes. Therefore,  we made turkeys! The students picked a prefix or suffix of their choice and wrote it on the body of the turkey. They then had to think of four words that included that specific prefix or suffix.Tthe students then turned the turkey over and put the definition of each word on the feathers and the definition of their prefix or suffix on the body. This way the turkey not only was fun and decorative but also a great flash card for the students to study with! Below are some pictures of the turkeys. The students did a great job and even got a little creative!
