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

  • First Grade: 100 pts
  • Second Grade: 200 pts

  • Fourth Grade: 400 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

A Message from Mrs. Reagan

We will have our second OPEN LIBRARY this Tuesday, June 28 from 10 am to 12 pm.  This is open to all studentsnew and old…grades K-5.

While attending, please feel free to take down your JOYFUL LEARNER PHOTO. I will be adding new photos next year…so you are welcome to take the 2015-16 photo from the board.

Also, it’s time to remind everyone to keep their brains engaged in learning over the summer.  I invite you to participate in MOBYMAX for 10-20 minutes per day (math fact fluency, reading and any other content that interests you).  Also, if you would like to track your reading over the summer, this counts too.  Simply log into this form once a week to tell me how many minutes per week you are reading.  Summer learning contest ends on August 20.

All students who participate in summer learning will be entered into a drawing for an AMAZON GIFT CARD.  These will be handed out during a pizza lunch with me!

Finally, Mrs. Vandenberg, our librarian, would love to have post photos of you reading over the summer.  If you have a photo of your reading during vacation, send her the photo at jvandenb@hpseagles.net

Hope your summer is going well!

Mrs. Reagan

What’s Coming Up- Week of January 26

penquinMiscellaneous:
  • Please turn your 5th grade contribution/5th grade t-shirt money back to school by Tuesday, January 27.
  • Don’t forget that each 5th grader needs to read 100 minutes each week and have parents sign the reading log.  To help reinforce responsibility we have a new 5th grade policy which is to have students who do not have their 100 minutes read and a signature will be making up this time during the last recess.  We will also include any undone homework from other areas of study in this new policy we have adapted.
  • Winter Break-January 30 thru February 2
