Rap Stars are Born

This week the students were taught the various rules for making nouns plural. Students were shown how nouns get an 's, es, or ies.' However, there of course are those tricky oddballs that change completely ( tooth-teeth). The were given a cheat sheet that they glued in their Language Arts folder that explains each rule and provides an example.


Rules:
-most nouns you just add an 's'-apples, cars, students

-nouns that end in 'ch, sh, x,s,ss, or z' add 'es'-brushes, waxes

-nouns ending in consonant+y drop the 'y' and add 'ies'-pennies, nannies

-nouns ending in a vowel+y just add an 's'-toys, plays

Next, Miss Evanko entertained/scared the class when she demonstrated her mad abilities to rap about the rules for making nouns plural. Then, students got to join in the fun. Feel free to rap away all weekend and learn your plural noun rules! Or, get some practice on the website below.
