#BotB Post 5: So proud of my students and so proud of all 95 of these kids who came together today to compete in Battle of the Books and celebrate their love of reading. Rockford ended up taking 2nd place in an insane tie-breaker round.

#BotB Post 3: Here's the list of books for this year. I work with gifted students at 2 different schools each day, so I'm remaining impartial and rooting for Rockford and Franklin (and Mountain Park, the team I coached for 3 years).

#BotB Post 2: Also excited about Battle of the Books today because this is the first year I don't actually have to do anything!

I've been a coach (of the County champions the first two years we had the competition!), a scorekeeper, and a timekeeper, but this year I kept my head down and wasn't voluntold anything. My classroom is a competition room so I just get to float around and watch my students!

BookInMyHands ❤️ What state are you in? I help run Oregon Battle of the Books at the Regional and State levels. It's a lot of work but so much fun! 8y
mandapants Ahhhh...I am so jealous. I had no idea this existed. Wish we did this with our schools. 8y

#BotB Post 1: So excited because today's the day of our county's Elementary Battle of the Books competition! Teams of 4th and 5th graders from all 11 elementary schools in the county read 18 books over the course of the year and today they compete to answer questions like "In which book does a character trip while running down the hall?" or "In which book does a character place a green hat on a dog?"

My kind of spectator sport!

Sace That sounds fun! 8y
saresmoore This was not around when I was in school, but I wish I could participate now! Eat your heart out, spelling bee. 8y
mandapants This sounds SO great! Better than Jeopardy. Did you read all the books? Do you get to ask the questions? Or sit in the audience and secretly know all the answers? 8y
xoKatie This sounds awesome! They don't have anything like this in our school district! 😩 8y
aa_guer2021 That sounds like a wonderful idea!! Definitely my kind of sport... 8y
