Classroom Policies/ Things to know~ 

WS means worksheet

I do NOT have extra copies of any hand outs/worksheets.  Students need to keep up with the original assignment. 

Homework is due at the BEGINNING of class!

Book Orders-

Scholastic sends me a coupon for a free book every time a parent orders online this year! This helps us get more books for the classroom!

SIGN UP at www.scholastic.com/bookclubs. On the parent page, click the "Don't have a User Name and Password?" link, then register for your own username and password. When prompted, enter the one-time Class Activation Code (GN3RT). This code ensures that your order is sent to me.

On-line ordering is easy, gives our classroom additional free books, AND also offers an expanded selection!  There are a lot more titles available on-line than in the flyer.  It also allows me to recommend books!

** I recommend to sort by TITLE.  This will bring up the additional books that are available!
