Nouns, Verbs, and Adjectives.... Oh My!

Over the past few weeks we have been studying nouns, verbs, and adjectives in our kindergarten class.  So often I hear the older grade teachers talking about how their students don't know these things so I thought I would introduce them in kindergarten so that the kids could at least be familiar with the words.   However, my students caught on great and love coming up with examples for nouns, verbs, and adjectives even though it seems adjectives are a bit more tricky. 


We have watched movies, listened to songs, found examples, and so much more in our study.   One of the favorites was when we learned the "verb rap" song from Have Fun Teaching.   Let's just say it gets stuck in your head.  :-) 


Here is the link to the song...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ineCCpqpZrM




This week to kind of wrap up everything students wrote a sentence about an object (either a die cut chick or popsicle) and then had to use highlighters to highlight the nouns, verbs, and adjectives in the sentence.  I'm pretty safe in saying that the "highlight" of the lessons was the kids using highlighters as many of them said they had never gotten to use them before. :-)


They did a great job and could find the different parts of the sentences.  Check out some of our work below...
