That's a straightforward error by the teacher and should be addressed.

Unless, of course, she ate a Canadian Goose for Thanksgiving, while a Siberian Tiger hunted a Steller's Jay in the backyard, scaring all the California Quail out of the California Poppies.

I wouldn't use this as a moment of self-advocacy at age 10, unless your daughter is particularly diplomatic by nature, as this will likely embarrass the teacher. I'd send a polite email to the teacher and, yes, ask that the grade be corrected.

FWIW... we had a similar situation with Canadian Goose vs. Canadian goose. Teacher offered a mea culpa to the class over it.

p.s.
Yes, for all the purist friends from up north (North?), I know it's officially a "Canada goose," but that's a whole different ball of wax to burn.
