Battle of the Books

Sean was part of Battle of the Books this year. His team name "4 Kinds of Sheep." Hmm, wonder who came up with that name.

The kids were so excited on tournament day. It was chaos in the library with 120 very wired kids.

Ethan, Sean, Sam and Andrew. Andrew was team captain.
Sean has done great reading the assigned books. He's given up recess to study with his team. The twins mom Angela has given up her time to coach the team. I was supposed to help but I've been working or watching sick grand kids most days. I did make a Quizlet that the kids have used to study.

Battling against "4 Deadly Dragons" for the championship. Sean's team went into the final with no losses. The Dragons had one loss and that was against the "Sheep."

And the champions are....4 kinds of sheep. I was amused that the sheep slayed the dragons. Sean said the sheep used their magical powers to put the dragons to sleep. They one by one question. All the matches were close.

Sean is just thrilled that they won. On April 22 they compete at the district level. I told him that will be 19 teams which means 18 teams will lose. He's working on reading the books that he hadn't read. They had different members of the team assigned as experts for different books. Before district he will have read all 14 books.

All the 3rd grade teams.

They played double brackets.
