Word Problems of the Week
Each week, this page will be updated with new word problems for students in grades 1st-5th. Students may enter one answer each week in a box by the office. 

                                                BE SURE TO SHOW YOUR WORK!

All answers must be submitted by 12:00 on Friday of each week. On the Monday morning announcements, a drawing  will be held from the correct answers that were submitted during the week. One student from each grade's submissions, 1st -5th, will be drawn each week, and the winners will receive a prize from Mrs. Culbreth. Be sure to include your first and last name along with your teacher's name on your answer submission. 

Please use a half sheet of paper when turning in your answers;it makes it easier to have the drawing on Mondays!
