As a former first grade teacher I can tell you...book orders are a BIG deal! You should be in the office when the mail arrives and all of those Scholastic boxes are stacked up.The teachers get so excited! (It means free books for their classrooms you know!) I always felt like Santa a Christmas passing out the books at the end of the day!
i teach kindergarten and when i hand these out to send home my kids go nuts for them. their eyes light up and they can't focus on anything else i say after that. i love that you are building life long readers!
I don't know how those Scholastic people make any money. When I was teaching I would get so many free books every month - I loved it. I gave each of my kids $3 per month to order books....beyond that they paid for themselves. They always added some of their own money to get books.

i am a wife, a mother, a homemaker, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a collector of white cake plates, a seamstress, and a want-to-be runner. i live in arizona, where the sun always shines, and the winters are a dream. i blog about my life at home. it's a good life, and i am happy.
I can't believe the amount of time my kids spend on those too... and all the Christmas toy catalogs too.
