I love sharing great ideas that I find on other blogs.  This one comes from Zeek's Zoo.   Its a great poster that helps students know which letters to capitalize.  You can visit Zeek's Zoo and download it for free.
 
 
Differentiation Station has a great center activity to let students practice their affixes.  Students just need to match words with their affix.  Check out this blog for this cute free printable. 
 
 
This is a great idea that I found on the Dandelions and Dragonflies blog.  She has a template for the trunk that you can download and use.  The idea is pretty simple,  each trunk has either a root, suffix, or prefix on it and the leaves are all the words that you can make with those roots/affixes. 
 
 
Field trips are great ways to expand students background knowledge around a topic as well as their vocabulary but we don't always have enough time or resources to get students out of the classroom. 

The great news is that with just a computer, a connection to the internet, and a projector you can take your students on virtual field trips.

If you have checked it out yet there is a great new site that would be a great tool to planning a virtual field trip called MentorMob.  I would highly recommend that you try it out.  The site is still new so there are that many of what they call Playlists.  (A collection of websites around a topic that you view in a certain order)  I am linking to one about the causes of World War II so you can get an overview of what the site is like.
