Keep on Learning Challenge

Keep On Learning With Reading & Mobymax

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:

  • 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 Math and Reading:  We recommend that each child consistently uses MobyMax each week in the core areas of reading and mathematics. If interesting, you can also choose to work on other learning modules.  Spending just a few minutes each day on Mobymax will help to reduce  “summer slide” and keep your child’s learning skills fresh over the summer.

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

If you’d like to be part of Georgetown’s challenge to “Keep On Learning” please follow the instructions below.  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!

Homework 9/17

Please check in with your child to see if they completed their math work.  If it wasn’t completed at school it was homework.
Math: 
  • Lesson 1-7, Homework-All
Reading:
  • Check in to see if your child is recording their reading minutes at home, and then have a parent initial entries.  
  • A good rule of thumb is 20 minutes each night, but your child may budget their time and minutes however they would like to reach the MINIMUM of 100 minutes per week. 

Reminder

Just a little reminder to:
  • check in with your child and initial their reading log so they can receive credit for reading 100 minutes this past week.
  • have your child study for their Social Studies test on Monday.  Review notes went home on Thursday of last week.
  • dress for picture day.  We are scheduled for after lunch.imgres

 

 

 

 

Reading Homework

Tonight we will begin or daily homework reading logs. Our goal this month is to read 150 minutes a week, or about 20-30 minutes per day. If the kids read each evening it is about 20 minutes each evening. If they read five days a week, it’s more like 30. Ideally we would like for the kids to read each day, but we know that with our busy schedules that sometimes we need to take a day off and catch up on a different day.
 
Have your child show you their reading log and how they fill it out. If you initial the entry from tonight’s reading I will reward them with an extra smile buck tomorrow! 🙂
 
Happy Reading!!
