Improving their concentration and ability to stay on-task in the classroom (& home).
Reducing disruptive behavior, such as fidgeting, in the classroom (& home).
Improving their motivation and engagement in the learning process.
Helping to improve their academic performance (higher grades and test scores).
Increasing their amount of daily physical activity.
Library Resources with Mrs. Duke
To access library/reading resources available to your child at home:
- https://library.garlandisd.net/
- Select "Carver Elementary School"
- Students can access the resources on the home page (Tumblebooks, PebbleGo, Brittanica etc.) using the login "garlandisd" and the password "garland" (please note that Discovery Education has an individual login and password for each child that would have been distributed by the teacher).
What is myOn & how do my children access it?
Students access through GISD Ready Hub.
We have an AMAZING myON contest going on & our Carver Tigers have read their way to the next round. Check out the myON March Madness folder.
This incredible resource is also accessible through community libraries for non-GISD students! Find out how here.
Do children really need to be reading daily?
