If you’re looking for love, a good book is the perfect place to find it.

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.) 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 Wednesday, September 4.

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. You will also get a coupon to apply to your next book order.  SEND your order to me on-line. I will deliver the books in class.

Here are some of my favorites from the September Teen and Middle Schoolers flyers:

Yes, I have a serious book habit, but I love nothing better than to share my love of books with my students.  Which books did you see in the flyers that you would like to see in my classroom library?
