Plurals s or es Center

Plurals Center:  s or es

Teaching strategy:  Teach the students if the plural word makes a sssss sound like a snake, such as pots,  they just add s to the word.  If the plural word word makes an is sound, such as watches, add es.
Student directions:  Students say the plural word and listen to the sound.  They put a golf tee in a punched hole to indicate their answer.  Next, they turn it over and check. A star on the back indicates if it is correct.  Students can do this in groups where they all write their answer on a whiteboard and they take turns checking it.
