Hello Families!
I enjoyed seeing you all at Back to School Night on Thursday! I look forward to getting to know you all more, it's going to be a GREAT year! :) If you weren't able to make it, no worries! I sent home the information presented with your child on Friday. If you are interested in viewing the powerpoint that was presented click HERE.
Scholastic Book Orders
On Friday, your child brought home their first Scholastic book order of the year. Scholastic offers high interest books at a low cost. Becoming fluent readers and fostering a love for reading is one of my primary goals for the year! Research repeatedly shows that the best way to become a better reader is to spend more time reading! :) I would encourage you to read daily with your child --- them reading to you, and you reading to them. Honestly, as a teacher, reading at home plays one of the biggest roles in a student's progress throughout the year. If you decide to purchase books from Scholastic, our class earns bonus points! These bonus points allow me to order FREE books for our classroom library, bookshelf, and guided reading groups!! Last year, I was able to add over 100 books to our classroom! When you order online, you have access to ALL the Scholastic flyers (Toddlers - High School)
If you have any questions, need help ordering, or would like book suggestions for your child, please let me know. I love all things Scholastic and I am more than happy to help! :) I truly appreciate your support in fostering a love for reading at home!
Please submit your orders by Friday, September 27th.
