Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns. They give more details about the noun by telling us what kind, how many, or what size it is. For example, in the sentence "The big brown dog ran quickly," "big" and "brown" are adjectives because they describe the dog, and "quickly" is an adverb because it describes how the dog ran.

In first grade, students begin to learn about adjectives through interactive activities and games. They might learn to identify adjectives in sentences, use adjectives to describe objects, or even create their own descriptive sentences using adjectives. It's a fun and engaging way to expand their vocabulary and improve their writing skills.

By the end of first grade, students should be able to recognize and use common adjectives such as colors, sizes, and shapes. They will continue to build on this foundation in the years to come, as they learn more complex grammar and writing skills.
