Read the farm story aloud together, then go on a plural hunt around your home: one cup, two cups; one dish, two dishes. Say each pair out loud and let your child listen for the ending. The tricky idea this week is the match between the noun and its action word: one duck swims, but two ducks swim. If your child says "two ducks swims," just echo the correct version back naturally rather than correcting them directly. When words end with s, x, sh, or ch — like bus, box, dish — help them hear that we add -es and get an extra beat: box-es. Finish by asking your child to tell you two things they would pack in six boxes.
At the Farm
We ride the bus to the farm. One hen pecks at the corn. Three hens peck by the gate. A duck swims in the pond. Two ducks swim to the log. The farmer packs one box of eggs. We help him pack six boxes. A pig naps in the pen. Two pigs nap in the mud. One bus takes us home. Two buses pass us on the road. What a fun farm day!
