Here's something I will be taking advantage of this week. Christmas will be here sooner than we know it, so there's no time like the present to start stocking up on those gifts.  I buy Scholastic for my kids every year. Sometimes they'll get a whole box full of books under the tree (we're talking incredible prices here), and sometimes the books, software, spy kits, what-have-you, etc., will just go in their stockings.

Scholastic also has wonderful educational materials for students and teachers. They have books and other items to supplement your history, science, math and language arts curriculum, plus some things that are just for fun. Do you like Usborne books? The Magic Schoolbus? The Little House on the Prairie books or the Chronicles of Narnia? They've got those and much more.

Scholastic's current promotion is only good from Wednesday, October 3 (that's tomorrow!) through Friday, October 12. Not only does Scholastic have great prices, but we can all get 15% off and free shipping (be sure to type in the code: FIS07).
