A general html table structure looks like this:
<table>
<caption>Title</caption> <!-- Optional, but must immediately follow the table tag -->
<thead>
<!-- Headings go in this section -->
<tr>
<th>Column Heading One</th>
<th>Column Heading Two</th>
<th>Column Heading Three</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tfoot>
<!-- Also Optional, but comes before the tbody tag -->
</tfoot>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Cell 1, Row 1</td>
<td>Cell 2, Row 1</td>
<td>Cell 3, Row 1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Cell 1, Row 2</td>
<td>Cell 2, Row 2</td>
<td>Cell 3, Row 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Cell 1, Row 3</td>
<td>Cell 2, Row 3</td>
<td>Cell 3, Row 3</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Remember to put your thead tag above your tbody tag since headings generally go above the data in tables.
Good luck with the project!

I think the caption should be placed before the thead:

You're right, the caption has to immediately follow the table tag. Good eye!
