We introduced possessive nouns this week. We started by watching a BrainPop Jr. video and playing the SmartBoard game that goes along with it. The kids really loved this! They enjoy whenever we can bring a little technology into our day.
We also read the book The Greedy Apostrophe and discussed the differences between plurals and possessives.
During our comparing and contrasting lesson in reading this week we read an article that mentioned a hidden statue that had been discovered in Cleopatra's palace. The statue had the body of a lion and the head of a man. We discussed what a sphinx was and some of the students shared that they had come across this word in their reading before. I also shared a picture that Cason (my daughter) had drawn earlier in the week. She drew a frog with wings like a bird. I had the kids draw their own mixed-up monsters and label the different animal body parts.
The next day, the students had to write sentences telling what animal parts their creatures had. They then rewrote the sentences using possessive nouns. The pictures turned our really cute and the kids loved it!
