Reading: Robin Hood. Exodus 20:15 Thou shalt not steal

Discussion: The right thing in the wrong way. Some possible topics of discussion include:  What was right about what Robin Hood did?  What was wrong?  Was taking from the rich and giving to the poor "stealing"? If something was stolen from you, and you had to steal it back, would this be right or wrong?

Grammar: Singulars and Plurals – A noun names a person, place or thing. A singular noun refers to one person, place or thing, and a plural noun refers to more than one person, place or thing. Most times, a noun is made plural by adding an s.  Sometimes though there are plural nouns that take on an irregular spelling. The plurals of nouns that end in f or fe are formed in one of two ways. If the final f sound is still heard in the plural form of the word, just add s. Examples are roof (roofs), and chief (chiefs). Sometimes the final sound may be a ve sound, and then you should change the f to ve and add s. Such is the case with the plural for staff, staves. Can you think of any other examples of words that change from f to ves? The plural of knife is knives. The plural of wife is wives. The plural of loaf is loaves. The plural of wolf is wolves
Music: Practice; Review; Next note.
