People, places and things, everywhere!
A common noun is the everyday name for a person, place or thing, like teacher, park, sandwich. Kids learn that common nouns are general, so they stay lowercase unless they start a sentence. They practice finding nouns in sentences, sorting them into people, places and things, and turning them into proper nouns: dog → Rover. In later grades they add ideas like happiness and friendship, which are nouns you cannot touch. The click is when kids realize almost everything they can point to has a common noun name!
Nouns are everywhere, so the best lessons send kids looking for them.
