Pugh Tribe

Good Afternoon Pugh Tribe! I hope you all had a wonderful MLK Jr. Day yesterday. Here is a brief look into what we will be learning this week as well as some exciting news about a FIELD TRIP. Math: We are moving on from fractions on a number line to equivalent fractions. We have been referring back to our fraction strips in class to compare equivalent fractions. They have been doing a great job in our first day on this standard and we will continue to build on this standard throughout the rest of the week. Reading: We are moving on from focusing on the main character in our stories to a secondary character in the story and how they help to build onto the story.
