Mrs. Cummings' Classroom Blog

Hello! So, our heat in our room is very finicky. It is either freezing cold, or stifling hot. I would suggest dressing in layers for the remainder of the year that way clothes can be put on or taken off at the students' leisure. I would also suggest bringing a water bottle to keep in the room. Most students do have one, but there are few that do not. I feel as if the amount of trips to the water fountain after recess will decrease which in turn will allow for more instruction time.

Please remember that Friday, May 1 is our first field trip of the year. We are  going to be planting trees and visiting the school forest. I have told the kiddos already on what to wear. Please reference the list below: long pants  light jacket boots or old shoes  There is no need to pack a sack lunch as it is provided for us from Johnson Timber. I have all of the volunteers I need, so thank you to those who sent in a note right away! It should be very fun! Please email or call if you have any questions or concerns. As far as I know the weather is going to be great! :) 

Yay! We are finished with the Badger 3-8 Exam. The students did a wonderful job and worked so hard and persevered through a tough state test. Be sure to congratulate your kiddo! :) I am so proud of all of them.

Unfortunately (as I am sure you have noticed) the weather has taken an unpleasant turn of events. Please be mindful of this. WE GO OUTSIDE EVERY DAY THAT WE CAN WEATHER PERMITTING for 30 minutes (i.e. snow, rain, etc.). That means your child may be outside without his or her coat or other warm belongings if they fail to bring the proper clothing. Please send them with a jacket or even a sweatshirt at the very least. They may keep it in their locker or on the back of their chair if they do not need it. It is easier to take a piece of clothing off than to try to put something on they do not have. It is expected that they students go outside and is a great way for them to exercise and "blow the stink" off! Thank you!

If your child reached 100% of his or her AR goal for the 3rd quarter they are asked to bring in a topping for the ice cream reward party.

Please remember that we begin our testing week TODAY. Our testing time is schedule for 1:30-2:30 in the afternoon. Please be mindful of this time when planning such things as appointments and the like. It is imperative that your child be present for this testing window as it will be more difficult to reschedule time to test as the state testing period ends. It's best that your child is in school. Thank you!

There was a field day t-shirt form sent home with students before Spring Break. I am still looking for money from a few students. I know that it says it is not due until April 24th, but if there is a chance you can send it in as soon as you can that would be great! Thank you! Remember to send the order form with their choice of t-shirt size along with the $5.00.
