Kick off the Battle of the Books month long school book study.
Each grade level is reading a specific book through the reading
classrooms. Each of the three titles is related to the theme of
non-bullying / individual acceptance. The students apply
reading standards, and create reflective writing pieces, poems,
messages, etc to respond to the theme. We tie in the message
with our PBS expectations.
The "Battle" will take place in February; with each grade level
having a 5 member student team, competing against a 5 member
staff team. A 30 question trivia type game is how contestants
collect points. The team with the most points has "bragging
rights." Student participants are rewarded with a trip to the
Golden Corral. This activity is a great way to get adults and
students talking about books!
