Third Grade Talking Points

• "Nouns are words that name people, places, or things. For example, 'tent' and 'campfire' are nouns because they are things we use while camping."
• "Verbs are action words. When we go camping, we 'hike' and 'swim'. These are verbs because they show action."
• "Adjectives are describing words. We use adjectives to tell more about the nouns. For example, 'cozy' describes a tent and 'delicious' describes s'mores."
