Book Orders Due by 5/24/109Published: 5/21/2010
Dear Parents and Students,
I have exciting news. You can now place your Scholastic Book Clubs orders online!
Browse all the great monthly Book Club selections at low prices and order online. Plus, our class earns a FREE book every time a parent orders online.
Here’s how it works:
1. Use the information below to access the Scholastic Book Clubs Web site.
2. Browse the titles with your child and place your order with your credit card.
3. Your order will come to me, and your credit card payment will go directly to Scholastic’s secure server. There’s no need to send money to school.
4. After I submit the entire class order to Scholastic, your order will be delivered to our classroom for your child to take home.
To get started, go to the Web address below and enter our class’s personalized user name and password in the sign-in fields on the right side of the page. Note: You do not need to create your own user name and password.

User Name: MrsEkstromsLA
Password: bookorders
Ordering online is the most convenient way to use Scholastic Book Clubs. You can order anytime, right up until the online order due date. You’ll also get instant access to over 500 additional titles plus online-only specials and discounts.
And don’t forget: Every time a parent places an order online, we earn a FREE book for our classroom library!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Several parents used this feature last time, and it worked without glitches!
Sincerely,
TAMMY EKSTROM

Expected L.A. supplies

In order to be prepared for each class, please always have with you: your agenda, a pencil/pen, highlighter, homework which is due, a silent reading book, any on-going projects or assignments. Students should also have their binder with them with a section designated for Language Arts. This is where students will put their reading and writing references.
