100 Step Celebration

I have been pleased with the reading steps that have been logged by most students. The upcoming celebration is scheduled for October 21st. Students have the opportunity to choose a variety of fun activities if they have reached the 100 Step mark by that date. Those students who have not read 100 steps will sit in a classroom and read. Please encourage your student to read every day and have you sign their reading log. You should be seeing this come home nightly!

**Congratulations to these students who have already reached 100 Steps:
Ubaldo De La Torre, Harley Greenway, Jesse Hannah, and Dakota Nichols
Keep up the great work!

Scholastic Book Orders

Dear Parents,

Periodically you will see several book order forms come home with your child. The reading levels of each form vary. I like to give a variety to choose from, plus it gives you an opportunity to buy for other members of your family.

Some information for you:
· Send in cash or make checks payable to “Scholastic Book Clubs.”
· I try to send home order forms every couple of months; however, I won’t send them home when we are having a book fair here at the school.
· Scholastic has terrific deals on book sets and gives you a mixture of old authors and new authors.
· Orders arrive 7-10 days from the time I make the order. I try to make the order within two days of the date that I have given the students to return the orders.
· Due dates will be written in your child’s agenda or attached to the orders on a separate sheet of paper. I usually allow one week. This first order will be due by Tuesday, September 9th.
· If you want to surprise your child, that can be done. Put the order in an envelope addressed to me, in the school office, and let me know that it is for a gift/reward. I will call you when the order comes in.

Reward with books! You won’t regret it!
