BATTLE OF THE BOOKS!
The "Battle of the Books" is a statewide
competition, which encourages students to read. A list of books is
provided to all students. The competition is open to 4th and 5th
graders. The students are asked questions regarding the books they have
read. They not only have to know the title of the book, but the name
of the author, too. It is quite challenging, but a lot of fun.
So, READ! READ! READ!
