Possessive Nouns

This week we continue to learn about possessive nouns. As we found out last week that pesky Greedy Apostrophe really confuses people when they are trying to make possessives! I sure hope that by the end of this week we can catch Greedy Apostrophe and be done with him once and for all! Remember when we make a singular noun possessive we add an 's - and ONLY an 's! We do not change the ending or spelling of the word like we did when we made the word plural!

Irregular plural nouns...


This week we will be learning about irregular plural nouns. You know these are those pesky words that you don't add an -s or -es to them to make them plural. Like wolf, which becomes wolves and goose which becomes geese. We will be playing a bingo game to help practice and identify these words.

Proper Nouns




This week we will be learning all about proper nouns. These are those nouns that get to have capital letters. They are special! and proper! Ha...not really. A proper noun is a person, place, and or thing...just like a regular noun, BUT it refers to a specific person, place, and or thing. So for example while the word zoo is not capitalized...the word Tyler Zoo is. Get it? Well you will by the end of our proper noun lesson!
