Proper Nouns

We have been studying Proper Nouns.  Anyone else ever have problems with their students confusing these with Plural nouns?  Oh my word!   


We made this Proper and Common Noun tree to help out.  The yellow leaves are common nouns that match the red leaf proper nouns they are hung with.  Same goes for the orange and green leaves. 

Plural Noun Pumpkin Patch

 We did this project to review making nouns plural.   This was after a week of practicing in class.

I used a large sheet of brown and blue bulletin board paper to create this hallway display.  I pre-wrote the singular nouns onto the pumpkins which I had just copied on orange construction paper.  The kids had to write the correct plural for that noun.   The brown signs tell the rules for changing singular nouns to plural.  The kids had to put their pumpkin in the right row.  I had twenty pumpkins for each row so that every kid had one of each.

These pictures are from a few weeks ago when we began learning about nouns.  The kids love this simple project and it helps them remember that a noun is a person, place, thing.
