It's finally here! The 2012 Junior Battle of the Books is being held today at 5:30pm at The Mall at Steamtown, and we're so excited!
Once a week for the past 10 weeks, I've spent my favorite hour with eight of the smartest, sweetest and funniest kids in NEPA. They read the five assigned books, and this afternoon, we'll face knowledgeable kids representing other libraries as we compete in the trivia challenge. We're ready! And, win or lose, we had so much fun together this summer. I couldn't be prouder of our teams from Nancy Kay Holmes!
We played "Inventor" like Sneeze in our first book, 101 Ways to Bug Your Parents...
We earned "chicken pox" for each trivia question answered correctly...
We made origami stars for the Fourth of July as we quizzed each other about The Strange Case of Origami Yoda...
We played "Meteorologist Charades" as we discussed Storm Runners...
We earned water balloons for correct answers to trivia questions about all five books...
And we decorated T-shirts for today's competition. (We sprayed diluted bleach around the outline of out team mascot: a shark!)
Best of Luck to ET, AJ, AB, GL, KG, EG, KZ, and MK, and to EVERYONE competing from other libraries in today's Jr. Battle of the Books!
xoxo,
Miss Katie
