We started our noun study by reviewing nouns, singular and plural. We went through our poems in our poetry folder and found some. Then we added abstract, concrete, common, proper, singular possessive, and plural possessive nouns. For these, we used our Interactive Grammar Notebooks to practice and discuss them. After practicing them in our writing, pointing them out in our read alouds, and practicing them for morning work, students were ready to show me what they know about nouns by making a Noun Foldable. By looking at the picture below, you can see that we are working on two learning targets. Students had to define each kind of noun and dig through magazines to find two examples of each and label them correctly. We talked about how if you cut out a candy bar, that could be an example of a noun, a singular noun, a common noun, a proper noun (Snickers), or a singular possessive (candy bar's wrapper). It all depends on how the students label their pictures. Sometimes learning is messy!
