Junior BOB

Project Showcase 2023

Just when I think Jr BOB can't get any better I am proven wrong. We had over 50 students participate this year and the projects were phenomenal. Take a look at what these second and third grade students accomplished!

The Library Media Center is pleased to continue with the Junior Battle of the Books for 2nd, and 3rd grade students for a 8th year!

Jr. BOB participation is strictly voluntary and designed to be a fun engaging opportunity for students to share their love of books and reading! Our theme this year is Perseverance and all students will read a book of their choice that fits the theme.
Students will be working independently.
Reading will take place predominately at home, parents are encouraged to work with their students!

This year's Jr BOB 2023 will feature Graphic Novels.

Graphic novels can be fiction, non-fiction, history, fantasy, or anything in-between. Graphic novels are similar to comic books because they use sequential art to tell a story. Unlike comic books, graphic novels are generally stand-alone stories with more complex plots.

Junior BOB is a fun way to...

explore genres you would not normally choose to read!
meet your classroom home reading requirements!
discuss books with others!
share what you think of the books you have read!
explore story plots, settings, characters, and meaning!
Most of all, Junior BOB is all about challenging yourself to a fun reading adventure!

What is expected?

Take notes of what they are reading to understand story elements of plot, setting, characters, and meaning
Talk about the books they are reading with their family and with other Junior BOB members
Stay with the program to the end and be willing to grow in reading!
Submit a final project
***All meetings will occur on Fridays during WIN time

This year's Jr BOB featured Historical Fiction. The 35 students who participated learned a lot and the projects were outstanding. Thank you for making Jr BOB a great success!

This year's Jr BOB topic: Historical Fiction.

FINAL PROJECT CHOICES:

Students in Junior BOB are asked to share ONE book. The book they share may be in one of the following formats:

The creation or writing of scripts is designed to be done at home. The library staff will provide assistance with filming and the technology needed to film; in addition to how the final project will be shared with the group. Please have students ask for assistance prior to the last day! We can not guarantee we will have time to help everyone, if students wait until the end.
