Good Afternoon Pugh Tribe!

I hope you all enjoyed your extended snow days. I know I am glad to be back in the school routines. This week we are learning more about unit fractions and equal parts. Here is a link to a learn zillion video on the standard that we are learning this week.

Math homework was distributed today and it will be due Friday morning. The students will be assessed on the spelling words given last week this coming Thursday. Please make sure that they are practicing the correct spelling and saying the words as well. Students per usual are responsible for logging their 30 minutes of reading each night in their agenda. Please log the title of the book and how long they have read. Any amount of time is better than nothing!

Due to the snow days, we are still finishing up our whole class science fair project. This is a class project and it will be at the Science Showcase tomorrow night from 6-7pm.

Don't forget that every Friday is Spirit Day! Make sure your student is wearing their Acworth spirit wear.


Have a great week!

Ms. Pugh

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.
