How about those books?!

If you are a veteran teacher or a newbie, www.scholastic.com is the place for you.  With my current class order of only $56, I was able to get 30 free books.  I personally spent $4 on this month's order, so do not think that I put in tons of my own money to get the free books.  Here's how to do it:
1. If you are not already subscribed, please subscribe to Laura Candler's website at www.lauracandler.com .  She is one of my favorite resources.  On her page, she gives you the step-by-step directions to making the most out of your scholastic book order. 
2. Set up your online account with www.scholastic.com.  It is free and easy.  I just helped one of my colleagues, and it took less than 5 minutes!
3. Set up online parent ordering.  This allows you to let your parents order from their homes, smart phones, or ipads!  And yes, it is less work for you!
4. Send out the fliers to your students.  I always like to include a personal letter with the flyer.  It lets them know what specials I saw, what might interest their child, and when the due date is.
After that, just relax and collect the free books!
Happy Teaching!
