Dear Parents,

Studies have shown that students can lose up to 50% of learning during the summer vacation.   Georgetown is challenging you and your child to “KEEP ON LEARNING” this summer to prevent summer slide.  There are two ways to record your learning time:

Our goals for students over the summer are below. Students who reach or exceed goals will be entered in a drawing for an Amazon Gift Card (1 per grade). This is for their grade next year.

Reading Minutes	Mobymax
First Grade: 100 minutes Second Grade: 200 minutes Third Grade: 300 minutes Fourth Grade: 400 minutes Fifth Grade:  400 minutes	First Grade: 100 pts Second Grade: 200 pts Third Grade: 300 pts Fourth Grade: 400 pts Fifth Grade:  500 pts

 

• Reading:  Log into  this form  to record the number of minutes you read.  You can record each day or enter the total for each week.
• MOBYMAX via CLEVER:  https://clever.com/in/hpseagles

• Login will be username@hpsstudents.net

 

If your child is new to the school and you would like login information, email Mrs. Reagan @ treagan@hpseagles.net

Have a great summer…and keep on learning with READING and MOBYMAX!

Did you know that every BOXTOP and every COKE CAP collected earns money for our school?   This summer we would like you to work hard to collect both. The money we earn will go toward a basketball hoop on our K/1 playground!

• BOXTOPS:  Every completed BOXTOP sheet is worth $5.00.  If every child from Georgetown (approx 570) fills  one sheet this summer, our school will earn $2,750.   Many thanks to Lori Simpson and all of you who are on her team of BOX TOP counters, trimmers and packers.  This is a great program that pays off because of all of YOU! Download your form here:  Summer Box Tops
• COKE CAPS:  Super easy. Save the caps and go online to enter collection!  COKE WEBSITE  (https://us.coca-cola.com/give/)   Select Georgetown Elementary and enter the code on the cap.   Now you can recycle the cap. No need to send it to school.

 

Welcome Students & Parents!

I’ll use this blog as a way to communicate important information that affects my 5th classroom. Reminders such as, field trip dates, conferences, updates to policies etc, will be posted in here. Also, you can find information out about me, as well as the  whole 5th Grade teaching team. My goal is to communicate effectively with you to ensure a positive home and school relationship that best supports the learning that is happening in the classroom.

Please SUBSCRIBE to this blog to receive automatic updates anytime a new post appears.  This way you’ll always have the most up-to-date information on all things happening in our room!

I’m looking forward to a fantastic year!

Sincerely,

Mr. Cooley

Parents & Students, thank you for such an incredible year! I feel so thankful to be a part of the Georgetown community! Thank you for your partnership this year as we worked together to grow your kiddo emotionally, socially and academically. Without our teamwork, we wouldn’t have made the gains that we did! Also, thank you so much for all of the end-of-the-year gifts! Completely unnecessary, but greatly appreciated! The Keurig will complement the room nicely and I hope to incorporate it into our incentives system  somehow as well! The gift cards and kind words will be cherished this summer as well!

I wish you all a wonderful summer! See you around! Check out some camp adventures below!
