Missad’s Visit Dayton

Hot Tub Time
The Missad’s didn’t travel far, but did head South to Dayton, Ohio.  We were visiting the kids Grandpa and “Linda” (my mom died in ’04 and Dad remarried a year ago).  They don’t call her Grandma, but she’s a wonderful role model for them to have in their lives.  It was our first visit there, and we all had a “blast”.  We went to the National Air Force Museum in Dayton, home of Wright Patterson Air Force Base and the Wright brothers.  The kids were really amazed at the planes…and bombs.  They also enjoyed LOTS of time in the hot tub, which we didn’t keep to hot (they used it more like a pool), colored Easter eggs and had an early Easter egg hunt.  We cooked out, enjoyed making smores, and even got a little sunburned 🙂
We are sharing some pictures from the museum, the second one is the kids in front of a replica of the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima and the plane that dropped it.
By the way, you really got them good with the April Fools joke.  We read it to them as we were putting them to bed, their reaction…priceless!  🙂

Parent Input Wanted

It’s that time of the year when we need you to help us prepare for next school year.

The  Georgetown teachers have already begun the important work of creating class lists for the next school year.  We thoughtfully and carefully place students according to:

  • Learning style of student compared to teaching style of teachers.
  • Academic achievement:  We strive to balance classrooms with a range of learning levels.
  • Relationships with other students:  If there are students who do not work well together due to personality conflicts and/or behavioral issues we will look at the benefit of separating these students.
  • Special needs:  Speech, reading, resource support, health related issues.
  • Behavioral/emotional characteristics and management style of each classroom teacher.
  • The personality characteristics of the student compared to that of the teacher.
  • Boy/girl ratio.

We would like to have your input regarding your child’s needs. Complete this confidential Parent Survey for Classlists 2012-13.  If you have more than one child, you will need to complete this for EACH CHILD.

The survey will be closed on May 1.

Spring Break Highlights

It’s Wednesday, which means we are half way through our vacation.  This also means we have 50% of our vacation remaining to enjoy.

I would love to share some of your vacation adventures on our blog.  Please send me an email or a blog comment and I will dedicate a post to you.  If you’d like, include a photo.  If you don’t a have photo, draw a picture and take a photo of this.  I will post a drawing of your vacation to the blog.

Milo

My vacation was called, STAY HOME.  Some people call this a “stay-cation.”  For me it was just right for resting, reading, working in yard, walking on the beach….and (drum roll) getting a PUPPY!  His name is Milo, a mix of King Charles Spaniel, Bichon and Poodle–a non-shedding dog.  Milo is just 8 weeks old, weighing in at 5 pounds.

My four year old cavachon, Cooper, is adjusting to this new family member. Every once in awhile, I catch him looking toward me with an annoying glance.  Milo loves Cooper.  He has learned to wait until Cooper is sleeping before he cuddles up by his side!

Nap time for Cooper and Milo

I am sure that you will meet Milo one of these days.  Mrs. R and I are going to train him to be a therapy dog.  This will take some time –but it will be worth it.  We hope Milo thinks so too!

Looking forward to hearing about your vacation!

First Day of Spring

As of 1:14 am, it is officially spring 2012.   What does this mean?  The first day of spring the day when the earth has an equal amount of day and night as it crosses the equator.

Most of us think of it as the marker for more sunlight, warmer temps and spring flowers.

This has been a most unusual winter in that we have had more sunshine, less snow and a some summer like days.

Wherever you are today, HAPPY SPRING from Georgetown Elementary in Hudsonville, Michigan!
