Your child will bring home a form to order books about once a month.  If you wish to order, simply fill out the form and send the correct amount of money or a check made out to the book company in an envelope.  These orders are provided as a convenient way for parents to buy quality books for their child at a low price.  As an added bonus, for every dollar that is spent on books, I earn points, which are used to purchase book for my classroom use.  This is a win-win situation because you get quality literature at a low price and you are helping to provide quality literature for the classroom.  Of course, you are never under any obligation to order.
