People, places and plenty of things
Second graders already know a noun is a person, place or thing, so this year they dig deeper. They learn common versus proper nouns (city vs. Chicago) and capitalize the proper ones. They form plurals with -s, -es and -ies (cats, boxes, puppies), and memorize irregular plurals like child → children and tooth → teeth. Many classes also introduce collective nouns like a flock of birds. The click moment comes when a child writes "two mouses," pauses and fixes it to "mice."
Nouns are everywhere in kids' writing. These moves help them use them correctly.
Start the unit with a noun song and have kids point to a person, place or thing in the room each time the chorus comes. Then sort the class's ideas into three columns on the board.
Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).

Why it works: kids understand an idea best when they touch it, then draw it, then write it, the order the U.S. Department of Education recommends for elementary math.

Second graders learn common and proper nouns, regular plurals with -s, -es and -ies, and irregular plurals like children and teeth. Many also learn collective nouns like a team or a herd.
A proper noun names a specific person, place or thing and starts with a capital letter, like Sarah, Texas or Monday. A common noun is general, like girl, state or day.
Most nouns add -s. Nouns ending in s, x, z, ch or sh add -es. Nouns ending in a consonant plus y change the y to i and add -es, like baby to babies. Irregular nouns change completely.
Common ones include man to men, woman to women, child to children, foot to feet, tooth to teeth, mouse to mice and goose to geese. Some, like sheep and fish, stay the same.
