Battle of the Books Showcases Literary Knowledge
During the month of March, Angell, Pattengill and Rogers 4th and 5th graders participated in Battle of the Books. Battle of the Books is a reading challenge where participants are placed on teams, read from a selected list of books, and then compete against other teams by answering questions about those books. Each student had to read four books out of the six and become "experts" on two of the books. Teams met with their coaches for three months leading up to the final Battle. Students at all three schools read the following books:
- Who Got Game?: Basketball: Amazing But True Stories! by Derrick D. Barnes
- Lucky Scramble by Peter Raymundo
- Turn the Tide by Elaine Dimopoulos
- The Frindle Files by Andrew Clements
- The Sherlock Society by James Ponti
- The Legend of the Last Library by Frank L. Cole
Each battle was well attended by families and fellow students to watch the competition take place. Below, read details on each school’s final Battle and which team came out as the winner.
