May Newsletter


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