Pugh Tribe

Happy Monday Pugh Tribe! I hope you all had a great weekend in the beautiful weather. We are almost to Spring Break...4 more days! I want to encourage everyone in the Pugh Tribe to be present and on time each and every day this week. Here are some notes and updates as we look into the schedule for this week. Math: The students have done a phenomenal job with our introduction to Polygons. We will continue this unit through the rest of the week. We have discussed angles and sides and how that helps to identify what kind of polygon it is. Reading: We finished distinguishing point of view last week and that leads us into comparing and contrasting two texts. We will analyze the texts themes, plot, setting, and characters using charts and Venn diagrams. Report Cards: Thank you to those who have signed and returned the envelope.

Happy Marvelous Monday! As we move into test prep, we have a few changes to our schedule. Mondays we will be getting a laptop cart to work on our typing skills, not only for test prep but as an addition to writing for standards. Along with more time on the computers, we will also be working on a few more reading problems for homework each night. As a 3rd grade team, we have assigned a reading passage each week with a few questions for Monday through Thursday. I will be going over this daily with the class to clarify any misconceptions. This will be our main homework, for additional Class Dojo points, I will be looking at homework calendars every Friday.

So this week, we will be focusing on 2 step word problems and explaining the steps we took to solve the problem. Perimeter is a standard we will focus on in the 4th quarter...

Happy Monday! We have a great week ahead of us! Here is a look into what we will be doing this week. Math: Today, the students took a pre-assessment for perimeter and word problems. We will begin perimeter tomorrow and continue through Friday. The following week, we will be doing word problems to finish out the quarter. Reading: This week, we are looking at standard RI.2 which is identifying the main idea in an informational text. We had a great first lesson and will be building on that information throughout the rest of the week. In grammar, we are looking at using commas in addresses and using context clues to find the meaning of unknown words or words with multiple meanings. Picture Day: Tomorrow at 9:10 am we will be taking our class picture. Make sure to send in the form or I believe there is a way to pay online! Social Studies Test: Tomorrow, we will be taking an assessment on the Age of Discovery including all of the European Explorers that we have learned about. We...
