Reading Is Fundamental at Cumru!
Thanks to the generosity of our PTO and UGI, students at Cumru received a very special book today through our Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) program! RIF is designed to inspire a love of reading, encourage students to read more often, and celebrate the joy that books bring.

Today’s excitement centered around Catch That Cookie! Led by Cumru Reading Specialists Mrs. Wentling and Mrs. Shockey, the Gingerbread Man “escaped” and students followed a series of clues throughout the building during a fun-filled Gingerbread Hunt to find his final hiding spot. The adventure ended with each child selecting a different version of The Gingerbread Man to take home and enjoy.

Families were encouraged to create a special reading time at home with this new book—talk about the story, the characters, and how this version of The Gingerbread Man is the same as or different from others your child may know.

Snow much learning at Cumru! ❄️ Mrs. Bisbee’s kindergarten and first graders traded the classroom for a winter wonderland! This wasn't just a snow day—it was a hands-on lesson in sensory exploration and independence. Before heading out, students practiced the essential life skill of dressing for the elements. From zipping up heavy coats to tugging on snow pants and boots, our learners worked hard on their fine motor skills and daily living routines.

The snow provided the perfect natural "sensory bin." Our students explored...
✋️Touch: Feeling the transition from fluffy powder to icy crunch and the sensation of cold vs. warmth.
👃Smell: Noticing the crisp, fresh scent of winter air.
💪Proprioception: Navigating their bodies through deep snow and maintaining balance on slippery surfaces.

Playtime is also the best time to work on communication! Students practiced social skills and self-advocacy by asking friends if they wanted to play and learning to respect a "yes" or "no" when it came to tossing snowballs. We are so proud of how our students braved the cold to learn, grow, and have a "cool" time together!

Our Pre-K kids LOVE to dig into a good book, especially when it's read by a special guest! This past week, Officer Maddaloni, our School Safety Officer, stopped by the classrooms to read "The Ten Gingerbread Men." What a treat! 🍬

Thanks for stopping by and spreading the holiday cheer, Officer Maddaloni!

Cumru Elementary thanked those who serve our country today through song! This annual program brings all in our building, plus some special veteran guests, together to celebrate the bravery of our men and women in the armed forces. Following the program, our veterans are invited to join their Cumru kiddo in the library for a reception, where they can chat with one another and share what service means with our students.

Thanks to Mrs. Smith, Ms. Adkins, and Mr. Shuman for putting together this spectacular program and to our Cumru Elementary PTO for coordinating the reception. Most importantly, thank you to those who have served! 🇺🇸
