March Reading Month – Georgetown will be celebrating reading for the month of March. We will have a school-wide western theme of Saddle Up & Read! (Tied to Book Fair’s “Wild West” theme.)
We’re all working on memes like this to hang on our door for our Reading Rodeo-themed door competition!
- A Daily/Weekly Reading Goal calendar will be sent home with the students. As a parent, you will sign the log agreeing that your child read for the 5th-grade weekly goal. The goal for 5th grade is 30 minutes a day or 150 minutes per week. If they reach this goal their name will be put in a weekly drawing.
- We will have dress-up days each Friday in March. Our next dress-up day is Friday, March 12. We welcome you to dress like a cowboy or cowgirl and wear flannel or plaid.
Book Fair – As in the Fall, there will be a book fair for the kids to shop in person or online during conference week. Our preview day is TUESDAY (3/9) and our shopping day is THURSDAY (3/11).
Class Chromebooks – Our Chromebooks have arrived! If your child wants to bring in a pair of wired headphones, we encourage them to keep their headphones in a labeled ziplock bag!
Math Fun
-
- We explored shift patterns when discussing dividing by 10, 100, and 1,000.
-
- Students got to act as numbers when the class told them what they were being divided by!
Musical Fun in Music Class – I don’t always get a chance to pop into the specials classes very often, but I did get to sneak a peek at what students were working on in MUSIC! Check out some sweet ukelele playing as these guys rocked out to Thunder by Imagine Dragons! Musical Fun in Music Class!
School is a snooze…when no students are here! – Once in a while when I come into school after hours or on the weekends, I’ll bring my bulldog, Zoe, in to keep me company. She makes herself right at home and snuggles into one of our comfy chairs falls fast asleep! I hope this isn’t how all students feel! Zoe Snoring
Ellie was our “Queen” this week as the class leader but also during a colonial tax activity where students were given smarties and then were unfairly “taxed” and had to give some up. She had fun collecting all of the “Taxes!” 🙂
