Students have been learning the plural of several nouns.  Indeed, during one week they learned that nouns ending in ‘y’ can be tricky; some drop the ‘y’ and add ‘ies’ while others add only an ‘s’ after the ‘y’.  To rehearse what they had been learning students were divided in groups.  One activity was a board game.    After throwing the dice, students had to pick the correct card number, read the sentence and change the noun in brackets into the plural.  Students wrote their answers on their mini whiteboards.  For the other activity students had to use the Bee-Bot.  Students chose and read one flashcard (a singular noun ending in ‘y’) at a time.  Then, they had to program the Bee-Bot properly so that it would stop on the correct plural of the given word.
