Third Grade Talking Points
- "In this lesson, we will learn about different parts of speech, which are the building blocks of sentences."
- "Nouns are words that name people, places, things, or animals. They help us understand who or what the sentence is about."
- "Verbs are action words. They show what someone or something is doing or how they are feeling."
- "Adjectives are words that describe nouns. They give us more information about the noun and make our sentences more interesting."
