4. After I submit the entire class order to Scholastic, your order will be
delivered to our classroom for your child to take home.

Listen to a book online at home!!!! (Read below for details)
This is a fantastic resource on our "Campus Research Resources" page under
the library link. http://schools.roundrockisd.org/gattis/library/library.htm
It is excellent for students who would like to or benefit from following
along with the text inside of a book as it is read aloud to them. Just go to
the Library web site and click on "Research Resources" and scroll to the
bottom.

A few reminders:
The weekly "At A Glance" inside the "Daily Folder" needs to be signed
by a parent, grandparent, aunt, etc. every night after the homework is
completed by the student. This document also gives a daily update on the
behavior of your student.
It is important that the "Reading Log" on the "At A Glance" is filled out and
signed every night after your student reads.
If your student fails a spelling test, they need to rewrite every word that
they got incorrect five times each, get it signed by their parent or
guardian and then return it back to me by the date written on the test
(usually 2 days). If the test is returned to me in time they will receive a
70% instead of their original grade.
Other graded assignments that receive a grade below a 70% will be sent home
in the daily folder. These assignments will need to be redone, signed by a
parent and returned by the due date written at the top of the paper. If the
assignment is returned to me by the deadline, signed by a parent and
corrected the student will get their grade changed to a 70%.
Finally, please look over your student's graded work inside the "Gator
folder" every Wednesday so that you are aware of their progress throughout
each grading period.
