"Fix the Story: Capitalization worksheet for kids, featuring a fun circus theme with a story about Aiden and a hippo named Toby."

Let’s go through the story and find every word that needs a capital letter.

We’re looking for:
- The first word of each sentence → must be capitalized.
- Proper nouns (names of people, places, days, months) → must be capitalized.

Here’s the story with lines under words that need capitals:

1. “on a friday afternoon aiden went to the”
→ “on” → start of sentence → On
→ “friday” → day of week → Friday
→ “aiden” → person’s name → Aiden

2. “circus. it was october. it was windy”
→ “it” (after period) → start of sentence → It
→ “october” → month → October
→ “it” (after period) → start of sentence → It

3. “in chicago. aiden put his jacket on.”
→ “in” → start of sentence → In
→ “chicago” → city name → Chicago
→ “aiden” → person’s name → Aiden

4. “at the circus there was a hippo riding”
→ “at” → start of sentence → At

5. “a unicycle. the hippo’s name was toby.”
→ “a” → start of sentence → A
→ “the” → start of sentence → The
→ “toby” → hippo’s name → Toby

6. “toby played the drums. the cute”
→ “toby” → start of sentence → Toby
→ “the” → start of sentence → The

7. “performer delighted aiden!”
→ “performer” → start of sentence → Performer
→ “aiden” → person’s name → Aiden

Now let’s list all the words that need capital letters in order as they appear in the story:

On, Friday, Aiden, It, October, It, In, Chicago, Aiden, At, A, The, Toby, Toby, The, Performer, Aiden

Wait — let’s double-check by going line by line from the original text:

Original lines:

Line 1: “on a friday afternoon aiden went to the”
→ on → On
→ friday → Friday
→ aiden → Aiden

Line 2: “circus. it was october. it was windy”
→ it → It
→ october → October
→ it → It

Line 3: “in chicago. aiden put his jacket on.”
→ in → In
→ chicago → Chicago
→ aiden → Aiden

Line 4: “at the circus there was a hippo riding”
→ at → At

Line 5: “a unicycle. the hippo’s name was toby.”
→ a → A
→ the → The
→ toby → Toby

Line 6: “toby played the drums. the cute”
→ toby → Toby
→ the → The

Line 7: “performer delighted aiden!”
→ performer → Performer
→ aiden → Aiden

So the full list of words needing capitalization (in order):

On, Friday, Aiden, It, October, It, In, Chicago, Aiden, At, A, The, Toby, Toby, The, Performer, Aiden

That’s 17 words.

But wait — let’s make sure we didn’t miss any or add extras.

Actually, looking again at line 5: “a unicycle. the hippo’s name was toby.”
→ “a” is start of sentence → A
→ “the” is start of new sentence → The
→ “toby” is name → Toby

Line 6: “toby played the drums. the cute”
→ “toby” → start of sentence → Toby
→ “the” → start of new sentence → The

Line 7: “performer delighted aiden!”
→ “performer” → start of sentence → Performer
→ “aiden” → name → Aiden

Yes, that’s correct.

Final list of words to capitalize (in order of appearance):

On, Friday, Aiden, It, October, It, In, Chicago, Aiden, At, A, The, Toby, Toby, The, Performer, Aiden

But since the task says “trace the dotted line under the words that need a capital letter”, we just need to identify them — not rewrite the whole story.

So the answer is the list of those words.

Final Answer:
On, Friday, Aiden, It, October, It, In, Chicago, Aiden, At, A, The, Toby, Toby, The, Performer, Aiden
