Scholastic Book Order Due October 11th

Hello Parents!

A scholastic book order will be coming home in your student's Friday Folder.  Encouraging reading is one of the most important things we can do to help your child succeed.  It can be difficult finding the right books to keep them interested, which is why I'm so excited that our class will be participating in Scholastic Reading Club this year. 

With Scholastic Reading Club:
* Every book you buy earns FREE books for our classroom library
*You can choose from handpicked, grade- and reading-level specific books
*You'll find the best values on a variety of books, including eBooks

Each month your student will bring home Reading Club flyers.  Together you can choose from books and then order online OR by returning your order form and payment to me. 

If this is your first time ordering online:
*Register at scholastic.com/readingclub
*Enter our class activation code (MJJWT)
*Choose your books
*Submit the order by the due date on the website

We have earned a reward day!

Due to outstanding effort and reports from our specials and in class, we have earned a reward day!  As a class we had shared ideas for what kind of reward we would like to earn as a class, took a vote and ultimately decided that the reward would be a pajama/movie day where students could bring a blanket and/or a stuffed animal. 

This coming Monday (September 16th), is our reward day!  Students may wear their pajamas to school, bring their stuffed animal (just one) and/or a blanket.  We will watch a 45 minute movie at the very end of the day.  I am very proud of them because they have definitely displayed some Positve Puma citizenship! 

Popcorn Friday September 6th

If your student would like popcorn and does not have a popcorn card, money will be due by 9:30am on Friday.
