Nouns Lesson, Grades 3-4: Irregular Plural Possessives

One child, two children. Where does the apostrophe go when the books belong to the children? In about 40 minutes, students learn that some plurals do not end in s, and that to show they own something you add 's: the children's books, the geese's pond, the men's shoes. A plural that ends in s still adds only an apostrophe: the bees' hive.
