Fall Battle of the Books
In the spring Oak Ridge had 104 4th and 5th graders participate in Battle! It was fantastic and I am sure this Battle won't disappoint either. Listed below are the Bluestem titles being used for Battle. They are in hot demand in the library, so if you have any of these available in your classroom libraries, please support your Battlers by letting them know what titles you have.
