Shop Online: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/lancethompsonelementary
Acceptable forms of payment are Cash, Credit Card or eWallet
To help the Book Fair go smoothly, we would appreciate it if you could do the following...
If you plan to send cash with your child, put it in the first page protector of their green folder, in a bag/envelope labeled with their first and last name, "Book Fair", and the amount of money written on it.
If you plan to put money on the ewallet (explained in link above above) please send your child's teacher a message so we are aware that your child has funds. Otherwise, we may not know they have money.
Please discuss this with them so they are aware if they have cash or funds in the ewallet.
Summer Birthdays:
We want all kiddos to get their day to be celebrated with their classmates!
If your child has a summer birthday and you would like to send in treats one day, please reach out to your child's teacher to schedule a day. Because we have lots of summer birthdays and the last week of school is so busy, we would like to celebrate these kiddos the first few weeks of May rather than waiting for the last week.
Treats must be individually wrapped and nut-free if your child is in a nut-free classroom.
Unfortunately, students are not allowed to pass out goodie bags for birthdays.
What are we learning?
Phonics - I can use my letter sounds to read poetry and write words.
