In Grade 3, nouns are words that name people, places, things, or animals. There are a few types of nouns students learn:
Person – Teacher, friend, doctor
Place – School, park, beach
Thing – Book, pencil, chair
Animal – Dog, cat, elephant
Students also learn about:
Singular nouns (one thing) – Cat

Nouns are important because they help us identify what we’re talking about!
