Part 1: Noun Sort

We need to sort these words into “Common” or “Proper” nouns.

Remember:
- Common nouns are general names (not capitalized unless at start of sentence).
- Proper nouns are specific names and always capitalized.

Words given:
- flowers → common (any flowers)
- teacher → common (any teacher)
- Mrs. Smith → proper (specific person, capitalized)
- boy → common (any boy)
- Thomas → proper (specific person’s name)
- state → common (any state)
- Virginia → proper (specific state name)

So:

✔ Common: flowers, teacher, boy, state
✔ Proper: Mrs. Smith, Thomas, Virginia
