Meghan, I don't have a list but I do have a suggestion if you use scholastic's book club and let children order books. (a little bit of work but worth it) you can get free books and book points as they order and then you can use these to order books for your class. Laura Candler has a letter that you can adopt. Sample Parent Letter for Lucky 2011 (MS Word format to modify) This helps parents learn to buy books for their children as gifts and supplies, I would always chose one book we read as a class (one that was on sale) and I would ask all parents to buy the books so everyone has their own copy. Many of my parents did not have a lot of money but Scholastic always has a least one book for a dollar or less. It really helped. I made a big deal out of passing the books out. If I saw that a parent was not every buying anything I used my free book bonus to buy the child a book. No one every asked how they got it they just loved having me call out their name.
