Good Afternoon! As we begin this exciting week I just wanted to say that I have enjoyed seeing all of the students participation in Red Ribbon Week. Tomorrow is our final day of Red Ribbon Week. The whole school will be dressing as their favorite book characters. I have my costume ready to go as I hope your children are getting excited too. You will be receiving a phone call tonight with more information about our parade and literacy activity to follow. As a reminder, no students are allowed to dress up with a scary face such as fake blood. No accessories or masks are allowed since they can be a distraction to classroom instruction.

Students have recorded their homework into their agenda. As we go into this week for homework, the math practice sheet is a good way for students to practice the math strategies for multiplication as well as other standards we have learned about this year. Starting this week, students will not have a printed copy of a reading log. Each night before you sign your students agenda, please record how long they read an
Hello Pugh Tribe! I have enjoyed getting to meet with each of you thus far this week. In order to ensure that you know where we are with math strategies, I have attached a list of resources to use as examples.  This week, we have been completing two step word problems using multiplication and division. During our mini lessons, I have used these videos to model how to complete the word problems. I hope this will help you at home if you are wanting to practice more beyond the homework.
