Battle of the Books (BOB)
During Battle of the Books, our school's 5th grade students read ten grade-level novels independently throughout the school year. In the spring they compete in rounds against other schools at a district quiz bowl competition, answering comprehension questions on those books (BOB Co-Team Captain and 5th Grade ELA Teacher, Ms. Shreckengost). Interested in finding out more or joining this year's team? Contact Ms. Shreckengost or Librarian, Mrs. Grabiec.
