End of the Year


We had a great time at the school Fun Run!   It was exciting to see so many students from our class there.  Thank you for your donations.  Zackery got to help turn Mr. Schofield into an ice cream sundae!  Our class collected the most money out of all the lower grades, so we won extra recess time!




We have been working hard practicing our musical, The Ugly Duckling.  We are looking forward to performing for the school and for our families.  Our performance is Thursday, May 24 at 2:00.  We would love to have you there!

Please turn in your child’s prestigious student form as soon as possible.  I would love every student to receive a new pin for his or her lanyard!

We have enjoyed the stories in our new reading unit about families.  We’ve read Brothers and Sisters, JalapeƱo Bagels, and Carousel.

We finished our math unit on graphs, and now we are studying numbers and patterns to 1,000. 

We finished our geography unit with Mrs. Moss, and we started our weather unit this week with Mrs. Bray.

Thank you to our classroom volunteers who have helped grade and review our math drills.  Our kids are getting so much quicker with their math facts!

Three cheers for our stars of the week, Autumn and Paisley!  It’s been great getting to learn more about them.

We did some fun activities with our buddies.  We made bunnies, played a synonym game, and decorated butterflies together. 

We loved the activities for “I’m going to college!” week.  We got to wear college gear, learn about different careers, and meet our favorite college mascots!  We made up our own college name, Awesome Adams University, and we got to do our cheer for the whole school!




We were so lucky to have a real author visit our classroom today!  Her name is Kathleen Wright, and she wrote a book called Dog Daze.  She told us about herself, answered questions about being an author, and helped us write our own stories.  If your child would like a personalized copy of her book, please return the attached form with the money by next Monday, May 7.  



Book orders are due Friday, May 11.  Your orders help us earn free books for our classroom.
