Yesterday, we had our first three, of the many Battle of the Books Competitions that will take place in the next two weeks! We had heated battles in all three grade levels. I am very proud of all participants; the students were well prepared and very competitive this year!
And the grade level winners were:
6th grade Team—Jenny A., Geneva H., Isabella Z-J., Aurora F., Josefine S.
7th grade Team—Katie G., Ariel S., Nida J., Hendley L.
8th grade Team—Theo K., Orion M-H., Jonathan M.
The school Battle of the Books will take place on Monday morning during ELT (8:35-9:30) in the media center!
In case you are not familiar with Battle of the Books, I'll give you a quick description. Students have an opportunity to form a team and read ten books over the course of the school year. Then, in April compete first, against teams at their own grade level and then, at the school level and eventually, at the district level to answer 20 questions about the books. The team that answers the most questions correctly moves on to the next of each of these levels.
The teams listed above will compete Monday morning during ELT in order to win an opportunity to advance to the district level competition held at the Athens Public Library on Thursday of next week!
Come and see the Book Battle fun at CMS or the Athens Public Library next week! I'll be back on the blog next week with the results of the school and the district competition!
