Tomorrow is Read for the Record day and we are all geared up and ready for it! Guest readers will arrive at our school around 8:00 tomorrow and make their rounds to classroom to read this year's book, Ladybug Girl and the Bug Squad. Our county is very fortunate to be pared up with a great United Way volunteer who has hooked us up with 12 copies of this year's book for us to keep! It's going to be a great day for setting World Records. Are you going to join in the fun?
If you don't have a copy of the book, you can read it for free as an eBook on We Give Books (www.wegivebooks.org). You do have to sign up for an account to access this book, but accounts are free. So why not join in the fun?
Update: As of January 1, 2016, the We Give Books website is no longer active. =(
We also had trouble with the delivery of our book fair. We are becoming very disillusioned with Scholastic and would sure like an alternative.
ReplyDeleteI wrote a post at the end of last year about a different kind of fund raiser we did. It was kind of time consuming, but you might be interested in it. There were also comments from readers about other fund raisers they've tried too. You can find the post athttp://mrsnthebookbug.blogspot.com/2012/05/magazine-fundraiser.html
