Ultimate Book Challenge
Our Ultimate Book Challenge (UBC) program was slightly different this year but still a big success thanks to our dedicated students! The UBC is a reading incentive program designed to improve reading comprehension and enthusiasm for reading using a fun and unique competition format. Our students in grades three through five were challenged to read eight books from May through December. All participating students were divided into teams of six. This year we had 18 teams "battle" to test their knowledge of the books. Following the grade-level competitions, the top 6 competed to determine our winners. Below are the results.
We are extremely proud of all our Ultimate Book Challenge teams and their accomplishments!

Using Green Screens
Thanks to a grant from the NISD Education Foundation, Granger Elementary was able to purchase ten portable green screens for use in the library and classrooms. Students in grades three through five have been learning to use the green screens in conjunction with the Wevideo program to change backgrounds so they can create more authentic video products.
