Ramblings of a stamp, ink and paper addict
Happy Friday! Here I am posting the second part of Anchor Chart Ideas - Plural Nouns Part 1. On Pinterest, there are tons of plural nouns anchor charts, but I rarely (if ever) see an anchor chart for the more uncommon cases of plural forms, e.g. the plural of nouns that come from Latin or from other languages. So here's my take on it: Of course, languages are ever-changing and some of the plural forms in the chart above are becoming less and less used, such as "datum". What happens is that "data" has been more frequently used as a singular noun. Or, some words are taking on other plural form alternatives, such as "indexes" instead of "indices". I don't really see a problem with that. Languages do (and should) transform. That being said, I don't think I'll be able to use "paparazzi" as a singular noun if it ever comes to that! I haven't mastered Italian yet, but I know how to make the plural of nouns in that language. One important case to keep in mind is the use of "alumni". "Alumni" is the plural form of the word "alumnus", which refers to a male student. The female student would be an "alumna" (plural: alumnae). When referring to a group of former students of both genders, the term "alumni" is to be used. A lot of people, though, end up misusing the word "alumni" as a singular noun - "He's a Harvard alumni" (instead of "He's a Harvard alumnus") - or using it to refer to a group of female students only - "The alumni of a prestigious all-girls school" (instead of "The alumnae of a prestigious…") I've recently read and heard some people using "alum" (singular) and "alums" (plural) to avoid the gender issue, but I don't use those terms myself. What about you? If you happen to read my blog, you know that I like to offer some chart ideas for teachers of French. So, allow me to post two anchor chart for French teaching: READ at For French Immersion: 7 Pinterest boards for French teachers Thank you for reading and have a great weekend!

The honeymoon has been over with my class since the 2nd day of school. This has already turned into being a tough year - of course my grade level has been warned since this group of kids was in Kindergarten... On Fridays I am reminded how great overall my class is as I update their behavior charts. I do have some sweet gems in there. For example, here is one of the cards that I received yesterday. (Yes, I was extra loved yesterday.) She loves the fact that I sing random songs. I told the class that if they catch me singing that means I'm in a good mood - and they want to keep me in a good mood - so they are my audience as I sing about turning in homework, capitalizing their proper nouns, and other odds and ends that happen throughout the day. To be honest, most times I don't even know that I'm singing until after the words leave my mouth... 13 years into this job, guess some things are just second nature! Of course we have already had a couple of "moments" as well. So for those students who need a visual reminder, I made up a little letter that I will post near my behavior chart. Just a reminder that I am there to help them learn, and that I won't put up with students that aren't allowing others to learn. So much to do, not enough time in the day to deal with distractions. In other news... I found some great deals today at an outdoor store. We were advised to go there to pick up Cub Scout materials. (I'm a new Tiger and Bear mom.) They were selling shag carpet squares for 99 cents. So, naturally I bought 18 of them. I mean, if something is going to be so cheap and wonderful - well it's something that I thought I had to have. My entire class does not need their own, but for silent reading & working on the ground they will come in handy. Maybe now they won't worry so much about having to get a t-shirt pillow. Hope you have a wonderful long weekend!
