Compound words

I loved teaching compound words to my 2nd graders when I was student teaching. The school that I was at followed the Comprehensive Literacy Model, so we would a mini lesson with the class and then have the children do a guided assignment that worked on the skill. This was one of the guided assessments that the kiddos did for compound words. Before the lesson I cut out the hexagons on page 2 and attached 1 to the center of the hexagon on the first page. (I used small scrap-booking brads to attach them)  The children then spun the center hexagon to make compound words. The kids thought it was a lot of fun and it was nice to do something a little different then a typical worksheet.

I have complied the two pages on tpt for free. teacherspayteachers.com
