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 first grade 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!
At the beginning of the school year, I will ask a volunteer parent to handle the book club orders for me. This person will be responsible for filling out the total tally order form, totalling the enclosed checks, sending it to Scholastic and handling any concerns such as missing items. I will take care of sending out the forms and distributing books and software when they arrive. This is a TREMENDOUS HELP to me in the classroom, and without a volunteer, I would not be able to offer as many book clubs!
If you do choose to participate in ordering, please keep in mind that all payments must be made in the form of a CHECK made payable to SCHOLASTIC - no cash will be accepted. In addition, be sure to include your child's name on the order form and send it in by the specified date.
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 below!
