Reading Aloud to Your Child
The power of reading aloud to children! Listen to this podcast interview with one of my favorite authors, Mem Fox, who has some great tips to keep in mind when reading to your child.
Navy Blue and Pizza Rolls
Can you guess who this is?
She is one of our many fabulous teachers at Georgetown. We are so lucky to have her as part of our staff. Just like her students, she enjoys taking on new challenges. If she could learn to do anything, she would like to be a culinary chef. Who knows? Maybe she could whip up a gourmet batch of her favorite childhood treats for us… pizza rolls!
When her birthday comes around and you need to buy her that perfect gift, be sure that it is navy blue. It’s her favorite color!
Can’t find her in the classroom? She might be at the beach, listening to her favorite sounds of waves and laughter.
You can tell that this teacher is one who enjoys every minute of her busy life because a book about her would be titled, 3 Boys + 2 Parents + 1 Dog = Abundant Blessings.
Do you know who it is? It’s Mrs. Kuieck!

Happy Summer!
Students receiving reading support this year have made great progress. To maintain important skills, please make sure that your child continues to read throughout the summer. Your family can also visit school on Tuesdays, 10:00-12:00, to check out books from our library. We will have a special WEB collection for students PreK-1st grade. I will reassess your child in the fall to determine any reading support needs for second grade. Have a wonderful summer!
School Library Open This Summer!
This summer, our school library will be open for students to check out books. On Tuesdays, 10:00-12:00, students can stop by school to check out books and visit with their favorite teachers. Research has shown that students who choose to read throughout the summer are more successful readers. Help to establish healthy reading habits and mark this on your calendars. Looking forward to seeing all of you there!
Art and Reading
I love it when there are learning connections at Georgetown! A perfect example of this is how our incredible art teacher, Mrs. Brouwer, uses literature to teach our students about art. Learn about how art and reading are connected in this interview with her on the Happy Reading Blog.
