BEACH BASH! Singular, Plural, and Possessive Noun Party

Nothing drive's me more nut's than when friend's add -'s to any word that end's in -s! OK, that last sentence is making me twitch, and I'm having a really hard time allowing it in this post!!

I'm a high ranking member of the Grammar Police. Here's a PSA for today:
The bunnies think it's pretty hilarious when I put on my "angry face," jump up and down, and shout this sentence at them. I'm half joking, but mostly serious. Why is it that kids {and some adults too!} always stick in an apostrophe whenever a word ends with -s?

To combat this problem, I created this:

It was really cold and cloudy here in Wisconsin when I came up with the idea, so I decided to take us to the beach to work with different kinds of nouns. Here's what's included:
I'd love to give away a few copies! Leave a comment {including your email address!} telling me what's your favorite thing to do at the beach. The hubs and I are headed to Cabo San Lucas in 99 days {without kids!!}, and I need to start getting mentally prepared :)

  2. I always dread teaching the apostrophe for possessives because right after I teach the lesson it shows up before every "s"! Your unit looks fantastic.

    If I were at the beach with no kids my favorite thing to do would be read.
    When I am with my kids my favorite thing to do is to use the boogie boards!

  4. I love reading on the beach, though holding a sleeping baby on the beach is right up there.

    Enjoy your weekend!

  5. This looks AWESOME! I am an unofficial member of the grammar police as well :) Incorrect grammar irks me!

    My favorite thing to do at the beach is at the end of the day, after we've spent a day splashing in the waves and playing in the sand, I love to change into fresh clothes, buy ice cream, and walk along the beach watching the sun set. Ahhh brings me back to my honeymoon in the Cayman Islands :)

  6. This looks great Angela! I took Fin to the beach for the first time last summer and she loved it. I guess my favorite thing to do would be to hold a giggling girl while waves crash around us. :)

  11. I love walking on the beach. Slowly. Listening to the ocean meet the sand. Breathing slows, stress dissipates. Have fun!
