February Book Order
Friends, relatives, and community members have sponsored 4th graders to receive the $1.00 book each month from Scholastic. So far, they have received Chocolate Touch, Riding Freedom, Old Yeller, and either The Dog Who Saved Christmas, Secret Garden, or 101 Ho-Ho-Holiday Jokes. They will soon receive Frindle.
I will be sending a February Book Order home with students in the near future. Because I actually had more sponsors than students, each 4th grader will have a budget of $6.00 to purchase a book or books of his or her own choice. Hopefully we will have these before "I Love To Read Month" in March.
Just in case you are wondering where these books are coming from, now you know. The books are your child's to keep.
