For the parent. Your child has been learning about nouns. This is an end-of-section check covering several weeks, so it is a little longer than a normal weekly quiz. It is low stakes and not graded — it is so the teacher can see who needs a little more help.
For you. Tomorrow's quiz is about nouns. Here is what is on it.
Noun
What your child has been taught to say:
A noun is a naming word — it names a person, a place, a thing, or an idea.
The question they ask themselves:
“Can I put “the” in front of it?”
The teacher opened the door. → noun
Ask “Can I put “the” in front of it?” — it works, so it is noun.
teacher → noun
Ask “Can I put “the” in front of it?” — it works, so it is noun.
Watch for this: Calls the word after “the” a noun when it is an adjective — “the red…” — “The red WHAT? It has not finished. Keep going to the naming word.”
Try these together
These are new sentences — your child has not seen them. Five minutes is plenty.

Answers — for the grown-up helping
If it is hard: Pick up any book and read one sentence together. Ask the question in the blue box about one word in it. Five minutes is plenty — and if it is still hard tomorrow, please tell the teacher; there is a practice sheet for exactly this.
