Battle of the Books

More than 100 students are readers in Battle of the Books who have each read at least 8 books (for 3rd grade) or 15 books (for 4th/5th grade) since the beginning of the school year. Once a month, the students gather to discuss the books in a fun, lively and engaging format. And coming up in March, Battle of the Books will test our students’ knowledge of the books as they compete in groups. In addition, our 4th/5th graders will have an opportunity to represent Washington Elementary in the District Battle in late March at Beryl Elementary.
