OLYMPICS 2010

Go For GOLD in Reading

Going for the GOLD in reading:

In honor of the upcoming Olympics, we are setting a reading goal for GOLD. Starting on February 12th, for every 30 minutes that a child reads they will color in a flag to place in the hall. Each second & third grade classroom will represent a different country. We will be researching our country, reading many nonfiction pieces about the Olympics, supplementing math activities and having some fun. Our closing ceremony will consist of a competition between 2nd & 3rd grade classrooms on Friday, February 26th. Please support us by reading at home so that we can fill the hall with our flags.

Reading at home also counts for a flag.  When your child reads for 30 minutes, log on to READING LOG and record your information.  Find your name under the second or third grade title, click on it and fill in the information.  Each teacher will receive the notification and reward the children with a flag.   If you would prefer to send a note to school, that is fine as well.

We are looking forward to celebrating the Olympics!!!!!

Hello Families,

We had a great day celebrating together with a writer’s celebration, stuffed animals, pajamas, AND popcorn!!!!!   What a fun time for everyone.

I will be sending an email with the newsletter attached.  For some reason Edublogs is not able to load our newsletter correctly.  The joys of technology:)

During our Writer’s Celebration, I always give a toast to the hard work that the children have done.  In particular for this unit of study, the craft that our writers have used and continue to master.   Today we opened the floor to the class for additional toasts.  Here is what some of our students had to say…. Out of the mouths of babes :)

Our Georgetown Family ROCKS!!

Georgetown families showed tremendous support for our building community service project, “Takin Down Cancer-Community for a Cure.”

It took four trips into the bank on Friday to deposit the coins and cash raised. Our school raised over $1,000 on Friday alone. WOW!

For the week Georgetown brought in $2,784.85 by collecting coins, cash donations and having a couple of class coin wars. If you add in the the monies acquired through t-shirt sales bought by staff and a few students we raised well over $3,000.00.

The organizers of the event are overwhelmed by the outpouring of support by our Georgetown family and are extremely appreciative.

As a teenager involved in the event said, “Your school is the BOSS!,” and ” You are my hero’s.”

Well, I think that sums it up! :)

Thanks again for yet another successful building community service project!
