Week of Oct. 30th - Nov. 3rd


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.



This week in math, we have been reviewing multiples of 10s as well as introducing 2 step word problems for this unit. I have attached the anchor chart with an example that I will be completing with the students starting on Wednesday.



On Friday, we will be doing some activities outside for our Science unit on Fossils. Please send your student to school with a jacket and closed toed shoes for some fun activities.



Don’t forget to log your student’s reading each day in their agenda. I would like to know the title of the book they are reading and how long they read for each night. As always, please let me know if you have any questions!



Best wishes,



Ms. Pugh

Week of January 14th

Happy Monday Pugh Tribe! Its been a few weeks since my last blog post. I hope you all had a very restful weekend. We are beginning a lot of exciting new units in 3rd grade this week. Here is a look into what we will be learning over the next few weeks. Math: We began fractions last week by taking a look at key vocabulary such as numerator and denominator. From there, we moved into what a unit fraction is and how to partition shapes to represent unit fractions. This week, we will be building off of unit fractions and looking at partitioning number lines to represent fractions. I used this learn zillion video this morning and wanted to share it with you for additional practice at home. https://learnzillion.com/lesson_plans/6303-identify-a-fraction-as-a-point-on-a-number-line-by-dividing-the-number-line-into-equal-parts/ Reading: Last week, we began looking at how characters develop in the stories that we read and will continue that focus into this week.
