PLURALS
MONDAY 11 MAY
Good morning Grade 4’s
I hope you all are well and that you are still healthy. I believe and trust that you are all still doing your school work faithfully. Remember, it’s not your mom and dad, grandma or grandfather who invent or give you the work, it’s your grade 4 teachers.
This week we are going to work out of the pink book and then I am going to give you some work in between that is not in the pink book. I want you to read, study and practice the work well.
We are going to start with plurals. We all know that plural means when something becomes more than one or when we speak of more than one thing. But unfortunately, there are some rules that come with it.
On the first page you will see that I marked it from number 1 to 5. These four lines are what we will be working on this week. You don’t have to know all of it after one day, use the whole week to learn it.
I also attached a video of how it works. Watch the video, listen carefully, take notes and then complete the activity.
Regards

- lady ladies
- nouns that end in -ey or -ay just add -s.
