All week long, our word work topic before our writing lessons was plural nouns. We had created anchor charts, made lists, practiced on the white board, and a few other "paper" activities, but I just felt like my students were not getting it!
Since I work with ELL students, I definitely needed a more hands-on approach, so I created this lesson, and VIOLA! They finally got it! It was a simple lesson, but adding the more creative, hands-on approach worked wonders!
Here is what we did:
- Have students choose a singular noun card. ( I used the cute chevron ones available in the pack above)
- Students write their singular noun on the word strip ( I found these cute word strips at Dollar tree!)
- Have students fold over the strip to the letter before you add the s or es, or to the letter that changes for the y words or rulebreakers
