Trivia Week 12

Week 12 already? Boy, time flies when you are reading some great books!

I hope you have begun meeting with your BOTB team, writing questions, and quizzing each other to remember all of those juicy details in the stories.



On to this week's question.... TRIVIA WEEK 12

Congratulations, John!

Who was the lucky winner this week. The correct answer was Towers Falling. Two points have been award to Ms. Freda's Class.

Be sure to read Deja's powerful story!

Trivia Question

Woman with a Parasol

Congratulations to Brady, the week 10 trivia winner, who knew that Monet's masterpiece, "Woman with a Parasol" had been copied and stolen in Framed! a T.O.A.S.T. Mystery. 

If you are a fan of clever, fun, mystery books don't miss this one.

The point goes to Mrs. Freda's class.

Book Projects

Remember, you can earn one participation point for each book project you complete. If you work with a friend, you need to spend one hour each. Get creative!
Here is a fun video from Charlie and Daisy depicting a scene from A Handful of Stars!

Trivia Week 10

I hope you are finding many new favorite books in this year's list!
If you are having trouble getting copies of the books, remember to use our holds system in Destiny, and also check out your local public library---they have many copies.

Our visit today with Grace Lin was wonderful, and I think she inspired many of us to be writers and illustrators and to document our stories. Did you know that Where the Mountain Meets the Moon was an MCBA nominee in 2012?!

Baton Twirling

Congratulations to Kalia who earned a point for Ms. Conway's class! Raymie wanted to win the Little Miss Central Florida Tire parent so her dad would see her in the newspaper and come home.

Battle of the Book Signups

Signups for the Battle of the Books will begin on Monday, January 7 in the library.
Battle of the Books teams are comprised of students in the same grade who have read five or more of the nominated books. Ideally, teams have four members.
No team? No worries! Every student who wishes to participate will be placed on a team. Each participant is awarded one participation point for his or her classroom.
And remember, all teams are subject to approval from the BOTB Commissioner (me!)

Now is the time to begin writing questions. All the questions for the tournament are written by students. Questions must be written on one side of an index card in the following format:
Question:  "In which book..."
Answer: The title of the book
Your name
Think about the unique characters, setting and plot of the book. We'll do some practice questions in class, too. Let the fun begin!

Trivia Question

Happy New Year!

Happy 2019!  May this year bring you good health, happiness, and lots of reading pleasure.
Abbi has started the year off right---she knew Castle (Ghost) stole the sneakers from Mr. Charles's store and she is the luck winner of the holiday bonus trivia.  She has earned 5 points for Ms. Gearhart's class! Way to go!
Ghost is one of my favorites on this year's list (and author Jason Reynolds is a favorite, too!) There are many novels written about football and baseball, but this is one of the only ones I'd read about track.  If you enjoyed it, be sure to read the other books in the Track series: Patina, Sunny, and Lu. The characters overlap and the stories connect, but each book stands on its own featuring a different member of the team. They were terrific!
