On July 4th, our first graders became grammar detectives. Sorting noun cards, they worked together to figure out which were common, like “dog” or “house,” and which were proper, like specific names. Giggles and discussions filled the room as they learned that “Tommy” and “Buddy” are proper nouns because they single out particular people. This wasn’t just about nouns; it was a language adventure. By understanding common and proper nouns, they’ll be writing even better sentences in no time.
