Scholastic Book Orders DUE OCTOBER 20TH!!!

Dear Families,

I want your child to be a successful reader—and for that, I need your help.

When children choose their own books to read for pleasure, they enjoy reading more and spend more time doing it. The more your child reads, the better they will do in school and in life.

Scholastic Book Clubs flyers are made for you and your child to shop for books your child will love to read. Each month, the flyers are filled with trusted, excellent quality, age-appropriate books chosen by Scholastic for prices as low as one dollar.

Plus you will be helping our class when you order: Scholastic matches each order you place with FREE BOOKS for our classroom to share.

Thank you for helping your child become a successful reader.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Jenkins

Please place your online order to me by September 8th.

Two ways to order:

1. Go online to: scholastic.com/newparent

Look up my name: Elizabeth Jenkins

Or enter our Class Code:  GXNBF

Follow the instructions to place your order online by: October 20th.

2. Check off the books you want to order for your child and return this flyer to me with a check to Scholastic Book Clubs by October 20th.

Post Super Bowl Party

Happy February Families!

This year the students have been very excited that the Patriots made it to the Super Bowl. We have decided to have a Post Super Bowl Party instead of a Valentine’s Day Party. We will be having the celebration on February 10th at 10:30-11:45. The students would like to have some football inspired snacks during this time. They will also be completing a STEM challenge related to football. Please follow the link to sign up to send something in for the celebration! http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e054baea92ca2f85-super

Since we will not be doing a Valentine’s Day party, the students do not need to do Valentine’s for the kids in the class. If your child still would like to hand out Valentine’s, they can still hand those out on the 14th. I just ask that they have one for every student in the class.

Have a great weekend and GO PATS!!!!!!!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Jenkins
