Books are So Nice!

Books are the big cheese in our classroom! Almost everything we do centers around reading wonderful literature! And there's no better way to build up both our classroom and your home libraries than with school book clubs! During the year we will use mainly the Scholastic Book Clubs, which offer wonderful, current literature AS WELL AS a large selection of EASY and BEGINNING READER books which are sometimes difficult to find, but so appropriate for the k/1  reader!

Several times during the year I will send home book club ordering forms from Scholastic Books. In addition, I may send home software forms as well. At any one time, there may be 3 or 4 different Scholastic order forms for you to browse through and choose from! The more choices I can offer, the better! PLEASE KNOW that participation in this is PURELY OPTIONAL! Because the books are so reasonable I feel it is worth offering them to those families who wish to participate!

All payments must be made in the form of Cash or a CHECK made payable to SCHOLASTIC. In addition, be sure to include your child's name on the order form and send it in by the specified date or that Friday. I would love a parent volunteer to help coordinate this.

Parents,

When ordering books for your child from the Scholastic Book Club, you have two ways of placing your child's order.  In addition to the traditional method of sending your order and payment to school with your child, you also have the opportunity to place your order online at Scholastic's private and secure website.  When ordering online, you pay by credit card, so there's no need to write a check and send it to school.  You can order anytime right up until the online order due date, and you'll receive an e-mail confirmation of your order.

Here’s how it works:

• Sign up for a free account at http://www.scholastic.com/bookclubs.
• On the parent page, click the "Don't have a User Name and Password?" link, and then register for your own username and password. When prompted, enter this one-time Class Activation Code:  JM6VY. This code ensures that your child’s orders will be included with the rest of our classroom’s orders.
• Browse the titles with your child, and place your order with your credit card.  Placing your online credit card order is completely safe and secure.  Your order will come to me, and your credit card payment will go directly to Scholastic’s secure server.
• After I submit the entire class’s order to Scholastic, your order will be delivered to our classroom for your child to take home.
• If you already have an account , you can place an order by visitinghttp://parents.scholastic.com/parentordering/login.jsp.

Current Catalog:  TBA Ordering Due Date:  TBA

Of course, if you prefer, you can still send your order and payment to school with your child (checks only, made out to "Scholastic Book Clubs").  Orders placed online arrive at the same time as those sent to school, so don't worry about one method being faster or slower than the other.  In our busy lives, it's just nice to have options!

As always, if you have any questions, please let me know.

Thank you for helping to support reading! We hope you find this offer useful, but please remember it is OPTIONAL! If you have any questions, please jot me a note or email me!
