Mrs. Cummings' Classroom Blog

This was placed on the blog earlier, but wanted to reiterate it. Your child will becoming home with a math homework/remembering worksheet almost every night and completed work will be included in the Core Value Responsibility grade. It is expected that your child complete their homework ON THEIR OWN (with the exception of having a problem read to them if need be) and return it to class the very next day. They will not be required to complete the entire worksheet, just the specific problems circled. Research has proven that time spent practicing new concepts in a different environment leads to a 28% higher comprehension of these concepts. If your child is struggling, please do not hesitate to mark the number and move on. I stress to the students that if they can write something down, draw a pictures, something, they are good and we will review and work through the problems at length in class the next day. We want to do everything we can to make sure your child is successful...

I have my feelers out  for 2 parent volunteers, but I am in need of at least 2 more. If you are interested please write a note in your student's assignment notebook or send me an email. Looking forward to our trip on Thursday! :)

These were sent home today! Please sent them back ASAP! Thank you! First come, first served for conferences.

We have added a field trip to our schedule this year! Woot! Woot! We will be going to Log-a-Load in Seeley, Wisconsin. We will be going next Thursday, October 1st. It will be an all day field trip starting at 9:00am and we will be returning on the buses at 2:30pm. I am not sure if we need chaperons, but will know soon. There will be a letter sent home as well with this information. Any questions, please let me know.

Remember that October 5th is coming quickly! In the letter that was sent home with the flashcards earlier this summer it stated that if the students know all of their facts by October 5th they will receive a special party! So, practice, practice, practice. :) We are on our 5s test today! So keep up the great work. On October 5th we will take a BIG multiplication test. After grading them I will find out who is able to attend the special party. Let's make it a goal for ALL students to participate. Please be aware that if your student does not know their facts, they WILL NOT be able to attend the party. They will be practicing their facts instead. Thanks!

Hello! I am sorry that it seemed to turned in to be more of an inconvenience to check the blog last night. Life got ahead of me and I forgot to update it. My true purpose of having the students and parents check the blog yesterday was to ensure that EVERYONE is actually doing it. I know that some have not looked at the blog, so it was more of a way to get some practice in and was supposed to be treated as a reminder to check it. So, thanks for checking in! Book orders were placed this morning, so I anticipate that they will be here the middle of next week. Friday is the Homecoming Parade at 2:30. We will be attending and watching on the sidewalk on 5th Street. If you plan to take your child after the parade, YOU MUST meet them in the office and check them out with Mrs. Gay. Safety is our number one concern. The kiddos are doing a great job this week with the Rules. Keep up the practice if necessary!

Book Orders where due TODAY, but if you have one at home I will take them tomorrow, Friday, at the very latest. Remember, you can also order online. Look at earlier posts for the class code.
