Scholastic, the major book company that all schools send out catalogs from, has a warehouse in Auburn, which is just a couple of minutes away. Once a year, towards the end of the school year, they open up the warehouse to all PS educators and homeschoolers and offer the books at a substantial savings. We stocked up!!! It was so hard to be good in there though. It's hard not to get alot when some of the books are only a dollar!!
My rules for shopping were #1 get only books that the children will REALLY enjoy and treasure.
and #2 Only get books that will bring knowledge to all the children as they get older.
I figure, the rest of them we can get at the library.
all in all, I think I did very well. What a joy it was to come home and have the children tear into the box and then spend all of lunch devouring their books! They were all so intent and quiet.
