Reading is a life skill! A book opens the door to many opportunities beyond learning. It allows one to take a break, travel anywhere, experience new things, and just relax. The learning opportunities are endless. Students who read have improved vocabulary, stronger spelling skills, and are often great writers themselves!
I believe you cannot have too many books! If you think you do, then let me know! I have connections with several organizations, including Riley Hospital, that take gently used books! After you donate your extra books, Scholastic offers a wonderful selection at affordable prices, to restock your bookshelf. When you restock your bookshelf you will also be stocking our classroom bookshelf! It is a win win for everyone!
I still send book flyers home for you to look over and choose your favorite books. Then, you may send in your order using the flyer or you may order online. Online also offers you more choices!
Go to Scholastic.com! Set up your account if you want to order online or just look. You can link your account to my teacher page using the following code: GVLHG
When you link to my teacher page you will see an order deadline. This will change monthly. The best part about ordering online is you can pay online!
Monthly, Scholastic offers books for just a dollar. If you are placing an order you might consider ordering one of these books to be gifted to a student who is unable to order. Let me know if you choose to do this. I will be sure the book goes to a student in need.
