Apostrophes in school

My daughter is in reception and the teacher has now divided the class into 4 groups. They drop their book bags into boxes related to these groups in the morning. The boxes are labelled 'Sunshine's' 'Rainbow's' 'Lightning's ' ' Thunder's '
I suspect they have intended these names as plurals and therefore have placed an apostrophe unnecessarily. But I am not sure - I suppose they might argue the box belongs to the sunshine. This has been bothering me more than it probably should. Do you think I would be unreasonable to ask the teacher what she intended?
