Scholastic

Every month students have the opportunity to place a book order, as I pass out the fliers at the beginning of the month. It is a great way for them to take ownership of their reading and for every book order placed, the class earns points that can be used to increase our selection of library books within the room. Also, with each order, Scholastic gives a donation to a different charity; reading really is rewarding!

Book Order Due: Friday, June 1st
