Looks like it's been almost a year since I have blogged.
It's my favorite activity of year - Battle of the Books!! The battle books were introduced to the students the week before spring break. I am so excited that the shelves are almost empty and when I went to the Public library, it was pretty much the same. The students are reading!!
I truly believe these are some of the best books. It's hard to narrow it down each year. I never want to get rid of any, yet I like to change it up a bit. The list has a wide variety of books in hopes that every student will find AT LEAST 2-3 that are a good fit. There are many levels and interests so that all students can enjoy.
I know that many of the teachers have book challenges, but the Battle books support that with the different genre and both fiction and nonfiction. There is even a poetry book for 5th grade.
Even though students are only required to read 3 books, the more they read the more they will help their team. Any student who reads all the books will be able to join me for a pizza party at the end of the year.
The first battle begins the week of May 9th and the Final battle is on June 8. Parents are welcome to attend :)
