Our Third Grade Book

Posted on March 22, 2018 by leigh.beckstead
Parents,
 We are getting ready to become published authors.  Our class has been working hard on a book of poems.  Students have had the opportunity to write and illustrate a poem.  All of these poems will be complied into classroom book.  In order to be published, I need you to sign the paper that your child will be bringing home today.  This paper is the order blank for books.  Please look it over, and regardless if you buy the book or not, I need you to either mark yes, or no and send it back with the envelope.   I need all envelopes returned by Friday, the 3oth. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.  
Thanks,
Ms. Beckstead
