Round 1 - Battle of the Books!

 Yesterday ( April 4th) we held our first round of the Battle of the Books! The students had fun- you should have heard the yeah's  and hurray's each time the teams got the answer right! Now on to the second round! Students had team posters that some of them spent a lot of time on. Here is a photo from the 6th grade team who came in first in their round.

Caldecott Challenge

 Our Third graders are  doing  a Caldecott Reading Challenge. This is voluntary reading challenge.  If  all students participate  in a class  and read at least 12 Caldecotts  over  5 weeks,their class receives a popcorn party. The Class that reads the most  Caldecotts gets a Pizza party.   The student in each class that reads the most  books also get a prize.  The student that has read the most of all  gets the biggest prize. So there are lots of opportunities for parties and prizes. We have a great time at the Pizza party- that is where we hand out the prizes and dance and sometimes have games.  The kids love the challenge and love reading the Caldecotts!
