TUESDAY, APRIL 14, 2015 MATH MANIA PARENT WORKSHOP PRESENTED BY OUR ELEMENTARY CAMPUS STAFF WATCH FOR DETAILS COMING SOON!

Are you waiting for your child’s conference with Mrs. Cummings? If yes, take a look at the two ipads. you will find mrs. cummings’ classroom blog, the 4th grade math  blog and the florida center for reading research (this will show you some resources you may find helpful for home). Please be sure to NOT close out of the internet, but just set the iPad down so others can see the information too! If you have questions, remember to ask Mrs. Cummings. :) Also, please be patient. It is my goal this conference time to be right on time! That being said, when it is your turn please know that if I cut you off or end quickly, I am not being rude, I am just trying to stick to the schedule. If you are late for your conference there may be a chance that we will have to reschedule. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this matter. Best, Mrs. Cummings

Yowza! We have had better test scores. I have sent home the graded tests from today. The students are to go over the test with you and make corrections in a different colored pen or pencil, you are to sign it and they are to return it in order to retake the test Monday when we return. Please talk with your child as some are not required to retake, but rather have an option. Others also had a modified test and their scores will stay as is. Thank you!!

Hello! You're student brought home a Vocabulary Game assignment. This is due Friday, February 27. The directions are very explicit and hopefully easy to follow. I'm excited to see the hard work of all the kiddos! We are even going to plan the games! Yay!

I sent out an updated conference sheet that had available times as of yesterday. The original green slips were due on Wednesday, Feb. 11th. I did not get all of them back. Therefore, you now have until Monday to pick one of the available times and return the sheet with you student. If you do not send a conference slip back, I will pick a time for you. This is very important and I look forward to sharing you child's successes with you. Thank you!

that my students have forgotten that there is a math blog for the 4th grade math lessons. The link is below. Please look/visit at your leisure. 4th Grade Math Blog

We will be visiting the Book Fair on Thursday, February 12 at 11:00-11:30. Students who bring money will be brought down there. I do suggest that they do not buy the "trinkets", but use the book fair to find new and interesting books to buy. :)

Your child brought home a letter explaining our Valentine's Day Party. We will not be having our party until Wednesday, February 18th. As a 4th grade team we decided it would be easiest to do it this day as the week before Valentine's is very busy and we have Thursday and Friday (19 & 20) off for Birkie. There is a class list attached to the letter and the letter also talks about the valentine's boxes and a list of students who volunteered to  bring in a treat for the party. If you have any questions please call or email me. (ext. 9350)

Thursday, February 12th is our Jump Rope for Heart Day! Students will be jumping in hopes to raise money for the National Heart Association. They may also and are encouraged to wear red on this day, too!!

Wednesday, February 11th is our February early release. Students will be dismissed from school at 12:40pm. Please make sure your student has previously arranged after school plans. If something changes that day, please call Mrs. Gay at the front office.
