Hello Pugh Tribe! Hope everyone had a restful weekend. We are excited to get started with our learning this week.

We will learn new terminology and see how the different parts help to make the whole. Don't forget to log your students reading in their agenda every night and initial! Progress Reports: Progress Reports will be sent home tomorrow in your student&#
