bus’s tire, Mr. Hood’s desk, Miss Priss’s hat. If the word is plural and it ends in s, just add an ’. If the word is plural and it doesn’t end in s, add ’s. For example-dogs’ bowl,
buses’ tires, men’s clubhouse, mice’s cheese) Possessive Noun quiz on Friday / Writing assessment over informational writing / Friendly letter format
