I just signed up for Scholastic! So how do I get the catalogs? The woman said I could get them online but I don't see it. Also, if you send a link or a book to a parent, how do you have them order it so you get points?Comment

You should have an online classroom order code to give to parents.
Are you logged in as a teacher on your account now? Go to book clubs, then your home page, to get your code. Parents register as a parent, then put in that code. It automatically adds the books to YOUR cart (but paid for), so that you place the order and get points.
I ALWAYS order the $1 books. We give them out for every event.Comment

Parent on-line ordering http://www.scholastic.com/parents/re...b-how-to-order
I usually just have parents write me a check or give me cash when they bring their order in to the classroom. That way, I can add to a class order to earn extra bonus points or order additional copies of a book etc... I don't know.
It probably is easier to have parents order themselves on line but for me, its easier to keep them all in one order and do it myself. At least for me it's been better to do it that way.Comment

I only do Christmas gift and something small for birthdays. I don't really get into peoples religious beliefs and to me Easter is a much more religious holiday than Christmas so I don't participate on the daycare level eventhough I am a Christian.Comment

How do you get parents to order from Scholastic? I remember many years ago I tried it. I thought it was such a COOL idea and come on, books for a buck?? Ya can't go wrong, right?? Not one parent ordered even 1 measly book for their child. :confused:
BUT the kids were always buying Happy Meals. 
Stuff their middle, not their mind, right?
I ended up spending anywhere between 30-40 bucks a month on books for dc. I had to quit; it was costing me too much.

Same thing was happening here......How do you get parents to order from Scholastic? I remember many years ago I tried it. I thought it was such a COOL idea and come on, books for a buck??

I had one or two families that regularly ordered books, I made a HUGE deal about how much fun it was to wait for and get the books in the mail..... We'd read them right away too! I posted photos of them on my parent page and of course, parents don't want their child left out of anything shared with the "public".
Of course, I would caption the pic with something witty like
"SUPER excited that Jenna's parents recognize and value the importance of early literacy! Just look at the excited look on her face!!" :
: 
Of course, the following month ALL the kids ordered!
Now I have only 1 or 2 families that don't participate.

18 kids. Zero to two children order each month. Seriously.

It's just pathetic that Facebook-type shaming is the only motivator parents have now days....
I don't know, I kind of thought the excitement and happiness of their child getting to pick out and order a book to eagerly wait for said book and possibly get that book read out loud at home to them would be the motivator...
....but what do I know.

Exactly but almost all of my daycare kids have Ipads and play games constantly. And we wonder why they can't talk until their 4. ughIt's just pathetic that Facebook-type shaming is the only motivator parents have now days....

I don't do Easter, but I do Christmas, Valentine's and Halloween. IDK why I skip Easter, although I am closed Good Friday & Easter Monday, but I'm closed Christmas too so that's not it. I just never have...Comment
