Hello Parents and Families!
It was a great pleasure meeting so many of you last week at Back to School Night. Our year is off to a roaring start, and I anticipate having a newsletter to go home within the next couple of weeks (after I let students know about their first big project).
I wanted to let you know about a couple of things you can do to help the students.
One is to order books through Scholastic Book Orders. If you are interested in having your children own their own books, then this is a great way to access inexpensive, high quality books. In return, Scholastic gives books to our classroom for free. Everyone benefits. The September and October orders are now available online. Here’s how to order:
SIGN UP at www.scholastic.com/bookclubs. On the parent page, click the "Register" button in the "First Time Here?" section. Register for your own user name and password. When prompted, enter the one-time Class Activation Code (GPL6V). This unique code ensures that your order is sent to me.
SELECT the books you'd like to order -- choose from thousands of titles -- many more than in our monthly flyers.
SEND your order to me online by the due date and your child's books will be delivered directly to my classroom.
The second way to help is to spread the word about a fundraising project I have going on through Donor’s Choose. I am trying to raise funds for an item called a document camera. This allows students to share their work on the projector screen – that means that as students complete tasks, we can all look at them together. Also, as I review project goals and requirements, students would not only have their personal copies but a large visual with which they can follow along. Please spread the word to family and friends – just the smallest donation can help us meet our goal. Visit http://www.donorschoose.org/mrsknutson for more information. Thank you for whatever way you can help!
