Ruby in Her Own Time: Compound Words

One of the stories we read during Whole Group Reading time was  "Ruby in Her Own Time." Part of the English lesson for this story was learning about compound words. I found a cute idea to use Ruby to help show compound words and then ran with the idea. The end result was this poster:


I glued everything except the eggshells onto the poster before class. Then as a class activity the students found the eggshells of the small words that made up the compound word Ruby was holding. The kids enjoyed it and we hung up the poster in the classroom.
