Years ago, as I ventured into teaching 2nd grade after years of being an upper grade teacher, I was on a quest to learn more about the second grade Common Core State Standards. As I waded through the Common Core Literacy Standards, such as CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.2.1.B, I was already familiar with plural nouns. The problem was I GRAPPLED with the best way to teach this concept while making it fun! Yes, I could fall back on worksheets or task cards, but my second graders had an unquenched thirst for using technology in our classroom. This was the impetous for the creation of our GOOGLE ELA resources.
Many of our students were English Language Learners, so forming irregular plurals was a difficult concept. Changing tooth into teeth, child into children, and mouse into mice takes lots and lots of exposure and practice. What better way to practice these unusual words than using technology, where students can interact with the words with color and animals. It makes learning much more fun!
