Week of August 26th

Happy Monday Pugh Tribe! We have had a very productive day today and I am excited to continue that energy through the rest of the week. Here is a look into what we will be learning about and doing in the Pugh Tribe this week. Math: Today I introduced 2-step word problems. This was just an introduction into how to solve them. We will be taking a word problems assessment on Thursday to evaluate whether the class knows how to solve word problems that have two steps. Friday we will take our unit assessment on addition/subtraction and word problems to evaluate where the students are with these standards. Reading: We are continuing to learn and use new strategies to check our understanding of the books that we are reading in class. Today we practiced finding the meaning for tricky words in our chapter books. I am very impressed with this group of young scholars and how they move over tricky words! S.O.A.R. Pep Rally: Tomorrow afternoon we will be attending a SOAR pep rally to learn

Happy Monday Pugh Tribe! We have been learning so much today and I look forward to all that we will achieve this week. Here is a look into what we will be doing in the Pugh Tribe this week. Agendas: We will be receiving actual agendas in the beginning of September. For the time being, there is a paper calendar to be filled out everyday. Please make sure you see the color they are on that coordinates with the behavior chart, initial next to the color, and record how many minutes your student read on the total line. Math: This week, we are learning about addition within 1,000 using strategies such as Partial Sums and Number Line. Here are two LearnZillion videos that show you how to complete the strategies for extra practice.      Partial Sums Strategy:  https://learnzillion.com/lesson_plans/8793-solve-addition-problems-using-the-partial-sums-method/     Number Line Strategy:  https://learnzillion.com/lesson_plans/6997-solve-addition-problems-using-a-number-line/ Reading:

Happy Tuesday Pugh Tribe! We are off to a great start for the school year! I am excited to see what we accomplish this school by following the Warrior Way. Here is a look into what is going on in the Pugh Tribe. Agendas: Unfortunately we are still waiting on agendas to be shipped. For now, I will give students their weekly folders and we will have an agenda sheet on the back. Please look at their behavior color and sign next to the color until agendas are delivered. Testing: This week we have taken the RI: Reading Inventory and on Thursday, we will be taking the MI: Math Inventory. Please make sure you remind your student to take their time and read through every problem. Homework: This week begins our Math and Reading homework. I am going over the homework with the class this week so they know what I am expecting every night. Starting next week, students will be doing all of their homework at home. Please make sure they write in pencil and bring it to school every morning.
