Reading Counts…Spring

From Angie Roon, Reading Counts Chair:

The end of this marking period is May 6.  And, as you know our Georgetown students are working hard to make their reading counts goal to be eligible to attend the last Reading Counts celebration for this school year.  Over 80 students have already made their goal and that is even before Spring Break!  Way to go!!  For those students who are still working toward your goal, there is no need to worry because there is still time to read more books and take more quizzes.  Stay tuned…a VERY FUN Reading Counts party is coming on Friday, May 15.

Keep reading Georgetown students!!

April Fools Day

April 1st  is a day in which I always hold my breath and hope that someone close to me isn’t going to seek some revenge on me for some past joke I played on them!  April Fools is the most lighthearted day of the year and celebrated in many countries.  In the UK, practical jokes must be played before noon.  Anyone who plays a joke after noon is called an Aprils’ Fool.   I wish you luck today!

A family blog?

Have you ever thought about creating a family blog?  A blog that allows each family member to make observations about family trips, experiences and life in general?  If you have, I would like to recommend that you check out LEARNING SIGNS.  This blog was created by Wesley Fryer, the author of Moving at the Speed of Creativity.  The focus of the blog is learning–learning as a family.  This blog is an excellent example of how web 2.0 tools are changing the way that we learn from one another at home and at school.

Weekly Events, 3/30/09

As we head into the week before spring break, please note that there is NO SCHOOL on Friday.  Spring break for all Hudsonville Schools begins on Friday, April 3.  We will resume school on Monday, April 13.

One of our goals this week is to get as many LOST items in our LOST & FOUND back to their rightful owners.  The bins are filled with snowpants, jackets and sweatshirts.  Mr. Rob will be spreading the lost and found out on tables in the hallway, and teachers will be encouraging students to search for items.

I hope you have a great week…and a very restful spring break!  Mrs. Reagan
