Classifying Nouns - Help Please!

[BetterThanAliens]

In the following sentence, what would be considered the nouns:

I grew up in the country, surrounded by farms and woods.

This is for a fourth grade classroom and we (teachers) are not sure if pronouns like "I" should be considered nouns or not. Obviously, pronouns can be substituted for a "person", so we're thinking they should be, right? Or maybe not? Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

In parsing, pronouns are pronouns and nouns are nouns. In this sentence:
I (pronoun) country, farms, woods (nouns).
