Scholastic Book Orders Are Coming Home!

I will be sending home our first Scholastic Book Orders tomorrow.  This is an inexpensive way to buy some beginning readers for your child.   They will begin to bring home homework readers in October.  If you need some ideas on quality literature for children you can see the list of suggestions below.  I know that I have a hard time reading those Spiderman and Strawberry Shortcake books over and over again because they are so poorly written and rely on the character appeal to sell the book. 
     There are a few different sets of leveled readers in the SeeSaw Order.  I saw My Little Pony or a Hot Wheels set of 10 readers and 2 workbooks for $12.  There is also a non fiction science series with sets A-D increasing in difficulty.  If the budget is tight, there are usually a couple of $1-$2 books in each order so that your child will not be disappointed when the order arrives and they don't receive anything.  I will collect all the orders and process them on Friday, September 9th.  You may order online or fill out the back of the order and send in a check made out to Scholastic.  You only need to make out one check even if you order from both forms.  All the money goes to the same place.  If you order online from our class area, I think the class gets an extra $3.00 book pick.  I usually choose homework readers for the kids to bring home or an extra copy of a picture book from the listening center so the kids each have their own copy to follow along during literacy center rotations. They are having technical issues setting up the online ordering for my account so I will add a comment  under with the new order number if I get it.
