Battle of the Books: 3rd Grade Edition

This picture below (compliments of the PTA) shows the spunky bunch of 3rd graders who participated in the first annual 3rd Grade Battle of the Books. Isaac signed up for this great activity and enjoyed ready the books during the school year. 

On the reading list:

The Wild Robot

by Peter Brown

The Terrible Two

by Mac Barnett

Hilo: The Boy Who Crashed to Earth

by Judd Winick

The Tapper Twins Go to War (with Each Other)

by Geoff Rodkey

Isaac's team was called the Book Covers. They seemed to work really well together and they all participated in the deciding their team answer. After 30 minutes of questions ranging from overarching themes to the name of the type of fish one character put in her brother's backpack, Isaac's team came in a strong second. 

He was pretty bummed, but it seemed to be a good experience overall. Hopefully he'll participate next year and get to read more interesting books.
