January book orders

Here’s the deal.  You can order great books through Scholastic.  Sometimes they even give you a great deal.  (Always check out the $1 book on the front page.)  An even better deal, the more books you order, the more free books I can get for our classroom library.  There are two ways to order:

1) Fill out the paper form and bring it with your money (checks made out to Scholastic) by Friday, January 28.

2)  Order online at Scholastic (for parents only).  On the parent page, click the “REGISTER” button under “First time here,” then register for your own user name and password.  When prompted, enter the one-time activation code code (GPBPV).  This code ensures that your orders are sent to me.  Select the books you want from over 500 titles.  Take advantage of on-line only discounts and specials.  SEND your order to me on-line.  I will deliver the books in class.
