Mid-March the elementary school is going to be doing a battle of the books. Each student is put into a reading group and then the groups are responsible for reading the books assigned to their grade. They must learn the important facts about each book as well as memorizing the title and author's name. Then the day of the battle the students do their best to answer the questions they are given about the books the have read. In the end one group comes away the winner, although all the students get something for participating. The students really enjoy the contest and it helps get them more excited about reading books. The official start of the contest was this past Monday. Here is KR at school really getting into the book she had chosen.
It's been extremely hot here lately...It's almost 11 p.m. and I'm sitting at my computer with sweat dripping down my back. I think I am going to retire to my air-conditioned bedroom now...goodnight!!!
