First graders find the nouns in sentences they read themselves, including sentences with two nouns to catch. The question that never fails: does this word name a person, animal, place, or thing?
-
2nd grade
A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or animal. Second graders practice finding every noun in a sentence, not just the first one: in "The teacher opened the window," both "teacher" and "window" are nouns.
-
3rd grade
A noun names a person, place, thing, animal, or idea. Third grade sentences are longer and often hold four or five nouns, so the work is finding every one: names like Kenji, ideas like a first try, and nouns that sit in front of other nouns, like spelling in "spelling test."
-
4th grade
A noun names a person, place, thing, or idea. Fourth graders find every noun in long sentences, including names of people and places, nouns that own something (the team's goal), ideas you cannot touch (courage, childhood), and nouns that describe another noun, as in "science lab."
