Gently introduce your younger elementary-age students to 75+ Greek and Latin roots with these 2 fun activities.
Written in a conversational style, students learn how to look for and identify individual root words. Using a "dictionary" chart, they then translate dinosaur names into English.
Using a model - guided practice - independent practice approach, you can use these activities over 2 or more days. We've even included ideas on how to extend your learning even farther.

Experience
I have taught a variety of classes, including community college classes for kids; social skills classes for gifted students; and professional development courses for childcare providers.
Teaching style
Nothing sparks learning like rolling up your sleeves and getting dirty - whether its in the sandbox or by having a spirited Socratic discussion.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I am always honored to receive fantastic feedback from the TpT community on the products they've purchased through my store. I was also pretty thrilled to have been invited to submit a chapter to the 2019 publication: Success Strategies for Parenting Gifted Kids: Expert Advice From the National Association for Gifted Children
My own education history
With a Masters in Education from Johns Hopkins University, including a certificate in Gifted Education, I blend research-based best practices into curricular content that often ties in with social-emotional learning.
Additional biographical information
I homeschooled my children from kindergarten into college - but I am also a professional curriculum developer who has worked with nonprofits, schools, and colleges. I live in Maryland. My passion is working with the kids who make you want to pull your hair out. I blog occasionally at everyday-learning.org
