It is hard to believe that our Just Write celebration is coming up next week! This year, the fifth grade classes will be celebrating with our kindergarten buddies. On Monday, June 1 at 2:15 PM, our buddies will be visiting our classroom, and our fifth grade writers will be sharing some of their favorite pieces with their buddies. Then we will take a brief tour of the building with them to see some of the featured writing from Georgetown students. Then we will head to the kindergarden room to have our buddies share a writing with us. If you would like, you are welcome to join us as we share with our kindergarten buddies.
The Just Write assembly will be on Thursday, June 4 at 9:30 AM.
Math assessment tomorrow over unit 8. A study guide came home today.

- Bring a sack lunch with your child’s name and teachers name on it.
- Your child’s name must be clearly marked on luggage, sleeping bagandpillow. Masking tape works really well for this.
- All medication must be in its original container.
- Any cash brought to camp is the responsibility of the camper.
Check In/Check Out
Drop your child off between 8:45 and 9:00 at the circle drive in the front of the school. (inside if it is raining or cold) PLEASE do not arrive earlier. We need to allow time for k-4 grade students to arrive using the normal drop off procedures at the circle drive.
LOOK for your child’s teacher upon arrival so they can check your child in, and mark them as in attendance. Please do each of these steps to properly and safely check in your child before you leave.
- Medication drop off– Any medication to be administered needs to be in its original container, clearly marked with your child’s name. An adult will cross check to make sure all medication left is listed on the med form you sent in giving written permission to administer medication.
- Lunch Check In– A volunteer will check for a teachers & student’s name on the lunch and place your child’s lunch in the appropriate box.
- Tagging Luggage– A colored tape will be placed on your child’s luggage to help identify it upon arrival at camp.
- Luggage Drop Off– Luggage will be given to volunteers to load and take to camp.
* Plan on being back at Georgetown Elementary at 1:45 on Friday, May 22 to pick up your TIRED camper. 
Wow! I can hardly believe we are a few short days away from 5th grade camp. I told the kids I would attach a packing list if they wanted to start gathering things together. Camp Packing List
Also, I want to invite parents to drive up and visit their kids at Camp Pinewood and join in the fun. You are welcome to come and spend the day, or part of a day. We only ask that if you plan to join us for a meal that you bring in $7.50 to cover the cost of that meal. You may always bring your own meal if you prefer that option.
Look for a Reminder/Checklist to come home today with your child.
We have a Social Studies Test over the American Revolution on Tuesday, May 19. Students filled out a study guide yesterday and should be bringing it home today along with one other sheet that they filled out in class. Please have your son/daughter study these 2 sheets a little bit each day before the test instead of trying to cram for this test only on Monday evening. Thanks and have a great weekend!
