Scholastic book order forms will be sent home to you around twice a month. They are a wonderful way to chose books that you know are on your child's reading and interest level! Also, they are generally less expensive than at regular book stores and offer many "book sets." If you chose to order the books, you may send a check to school or you may chose to order online (see below.) Please note that with each purchase you make, "scholastic points" go into an account for me to "spend" on books and resources for our classroom. I will begin to post online all the books and teaching materials I have been able to order as soon as the next order is completed.

I have exciting news... You can now place your Scholastic Book Club orders online!
Browse all the great monthly Club selections at low prices and order online - all while helping our classroom earn FREE books, software, and resources.
Here's how it works:

Use the information below to access the Scholastic Book Clubs Web site.
Browse the titles with your child, and place your order with your credit card.
Your order will come to me, and your credit card payment will go directly to Scholastic's secure server. There's no need to send money to school.
After I submit the entire class's order to Scholastic, your order will be delivered to our classroom for your child to take home.

Remember, placing your online credit card order is completely safe and secure.
Ordering online is the most convenient way to use Scholastic Book Clubs. You can order anytime, right up until the online order due date. And this month, our class can earn additional FREE books, just for trying this online ordering service.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
