Word Study

This past week in Word Study, we explored some of the rules about singular and plural nouns. Specifically, we took a look at how we can look at the ending of base words to determine whether or not they should add an "s" or an "es" to make them plural. In addition, we talked about how some words have a vowel change (i.e., foot becomes feet), and some are just oddballs (i.e., clothes). You will receive the spelling test your child took on Friday, September 6. Please look over it with you child, sign it, and return it to us.

This week, we will take a look at changing singular nouns and conjugating some verbs that end in "y" and transform into "ies" or "ied" (i.e., marry becomes marries, apply becomes applied, study becomes studies).
