Still Hangin' in There!!

Yesterday, we continued our work with the different literary genres.  We also, practiced working with singular possessive and plural possessive nouns.  Some students still seem to have some issues with the rules. 

Here they are for future reference:

A possessive noun shows ownership.  Singular nouns add an apostrophe and "s" to form the possessive (worker/worker's).  Most plural nouns add an apostrophe after the s to form the possessive (workers/workers').  Plurals that don't end in s (men/mice) add an apostrophe and "s" (men's/mice's) to show possession.
