| The Battle of the Books is a year-long event for 4th and 5th Graders in our county. 5th Grade students are given this list of books at the beginning of the school year, and read as many books as possible from August until April. They compete against other students in our class, as well as against other students in the 5th Grade. Our school winners then compete against other 5th Graders from the county in April or May. All dates for these contests are TBA. |
