Scholastic Book Orders
Dear Second Grade Families,
I wanted to remind you that you can place your Scholastic Book Club orders online. It is due on Friday, November 7th!
This month’s offers are filled with great books and software at terrific values. Here are a few that I am sure you won’t want to miss:
- Ready, Freddy! Thanksgiving
- The Christmas Party from the Black Lagoon #16
- A to Z Mysteries What House White-Out #93
I always love the Magic Tree House series books as well as Horrible Harry series. If your child is an early chapter book reader choose some from the Transitional and Early Chapter books categories.
To order online, go to the Web address below and enter our class’s personalized user name and password.
www.scholastic.com/parentordering
Class User Name: stjeromegrade2
Password: grade2
Remember, placing your online credit card order is completely safe and secure.
Plus, when you shop online, you can take advantage of exclusive online-only offers and choose from an expanded selection of books and software. Of course, you can always use the printed flyer instead and have your child hand in a Book Club order form and payment at school.
Thank you for continuing to help our classroom earn FREE books and learning materials. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Sederstrom
