Remember to wear your tye-dye shirts on Thursday, Dec 17th...That is when Gordon Korman will visit! Dear Parent, We have exciting news. You can now place your Scholastic Book Clubs orders online! Browse all the great monthly Book Club selections at low prices and order online. Plus, our class earns a FREE book every time a parent orders online. Here’s how it works: 1. Use the information below to access the Scholastic Book Clubs Web site. 2. Browse the titles with your child and place your order with your credit card. 3. Your order will come to me, and your credit card payment will go directly to Scholastic’s secure server. There’s no need to send money to school. 4. After I submit the entire class order to Scholastic, your order will be delivered to our classroom for your child to take home. To get started, go to the Web address below and enter our class’s personalized user name and password in the sign-in fields on the right side of the page. Note: You do not need to create your own user name and password. www.scholastic.com/bookclubs User Name: SMSDolphinTeam Password: smsdolphins Ordering online is the most convenient way to use Scholastic Book Clubs. You can order anytime, right up until the online order due date. You’ll also get instant access to over 500 additional titles plus online-only specials and discounts. And don’t forget: Every time a parent places an order online, we earn a FREE book for our classroom library! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, The Dolphin Team Teachers Welcome to the Dolphin Team! We're glad you're here! Progress Reports were sent home today Thursday, September 24, 2009. Please sign and return cover letter to your child’s first period teacher. Thank you. We need your help! One of the incentives we offer to Dolphin students is the Dolphin Lottery. Students have the opportunity each day to receive Dolphin Lottery Tickets for various activities (helping teachers and student, answer questions, extra credit work, etc.) You may have noticed the blue slips of paper you child has collected. Students love recieving the lottery tickets but have loved the prizes they can recieve even more! On Fridays we collect those tickets and have a drawing for prizes at lunchtime. The prizes are usually something purchased for under $1.00. We could really use either more prize donations or donations of money so we can purchase more prizes. Feel free to send them in with you child and designate them as Dolphin Lottery prizes. Students can turn them in to Ms. VanderLaan or their first period teacher at any time. Thanks so much for those of you who have already donated! We appreciate you!! Have a great week!
