Battle of the Books
We have copies of the Battle of the Books titles for Grades 3-8 so now we just need to recruit students who would like to battle in this dual next February! Generally, students will share the responsibility of reading the 10-12 book titles and then practice answering questions about the details of each book. The time commitment involves reading the books and then practicing one day a week after school until February. There will be some fun student get-togethers in between! Please let Ms. Wester know if this is something your student would be interested.
If you would be interested in helping coach a team please fill out the attached form.
