We've been getting a lot of questions about Battle of the Books (or BoB!). This is a friendly reading competition for students in third, fourth and fifth grade. We will have our campus competition at the end of January, and that will determine which team (one from each grade level), will go on to the district competition at the end of May. (This is a district event, so we cannot make any changes to the number of teams or grade levels chosen to participate.)
Students read books from an assigned list and practice writing questions that they think may be asked. During the competition, they are asked questions by the moderator (Mr. Landy), and have a set time to answer. The team with the most correct answers wins!
We will evaluate in January, closer to competition time, to see if we will allow guests to view the competition.
Students who have already indicated their desire to compete are being placed on teams and assigned coaches this week. Students can check out books from the library to read.
Please let me know if you have additional questions not answered above!
