Proper nouns are capitalized and common nouns are not capitalized. That's just one example of what we call 'conventions' in Writing. For example, an example of proper nouns vs. common nouns would be 'Mr. Burnett' and 'teacher.' Can you tell which is the common noun and which is the proper noun?
Cold weather is predicted for this weekend, and on Wednesday we had rain during a morning fire drill. Guess who forgot his poncho after telling the class how practical they can be for such occasions?
"How would you describe the 'Library Lady?" Here is one good response among many:
The library lady is a person who you would want to be around. She is kind, asks you 'what book?' It would feel like she has everything. She is kind by like checking out(books) under her name. Most librarians don't do that.
The class brought in a few more current events/news items this week, but it would be great to have more, especially a short summary from a television or radio or internet news site piece.
The great conversations and support during the parent/teacher conferences this week and last are much appreciated!
