Addition, Singular & Plural

Last nite, I asked Janelle to get a book for her bedtime reading.
She picked one and I realised that book was too advance for her cos it required her to spell.
I was too lazy to change, so I just guide Janelle along.

She managed to trace back the word and pick the correct word and spell correctly.

I feel I can start her with some Maths. So I introduce addition to her.

She grabbed the concept quite well and managed to do simple addition with the help of the fingers.

I thot I can try introducing singular and plural to her as well.

So we go thru some of them.

Mum: Jan, 1 apple. Many apple(S).
Jan: 1 apple, so many appleS
Mum: Very gd.

Jan: Mummy. 1 pillow, so many pillows.
Mum: No need to say SO MANY. Many pillows will do.

Jan: 1 bloster, many blosters.

Jan: 1 children, many childrenS
Mum: Oh, is not many ChildrenS. U shld say 1 Child, Many Children. Children mean many, do not need to add S.
Jan: Oh.....

Searching for items to practise.......

Jan: 1 brother, many brothers
Jan: 1 sister, many sisters

Jan: 1 Julian, Many Julians
mum: Ah....
(both laughed....)

Jan: 1 shu shu, many Shu shu (S)
Jan: 1 Nai Nai, many Nai Nai(S)
Mum: uh.....????

Jan: Oh mummy. I know.
Mum: Know what??
Jan: 1 sarong, many sarongs
(both of us rolling on the bed.... )
