]]> Teaching Nouns with Humor

When I teach nouns to my resource students, I always begin with this concrete strategy. With a regular trash can in the front of my room I drop a pencil, book, eraser, etc into the can. I then tell them these are all “things”, and all “things” are nouns! I then step into the can and let them know that a teacher is a “person” and a “person” is a noun. They laugh and laugh and never have trouble understanding the abstract of what a noun is because they understand the concrete! I also have them envision a huge can large enough to put Texas, the earth, or the universe in because they are nouns too!
