12/3/08 Plural Nouns

Part 1 (Daily Reading Homework): your child needs to read at least 20 minutes every night. Please record what they read, how long they read for and then initial it.

Part 2 (Plural Nouns): The kids are learning how to turn singular nouns into plural nouns. Obviously, most words simply require an “s” to added to the end to make them singular. There are some exceptions: words that end in x, sh, ch, or s all get “es” added instead of just an “s.”

Thus: 1 dish, 2 dishes
1 fox, 2 foxes
1 sandwich, 2 sandwiches
1 coat, 2 coats
1 goat, 2 goats
1 mess, 2 messes

Have your student complete the practice worksheet and check their understanding.

Part 3 (Minute Math): Minute Math is a daily activity. It is not due until Friday.
