Battle of the Books WINNERS!

Kaylee is the one on the far right.  She looks so small next to
 her classmate.  (They are the same age)
 Kaylee signed up for the battle of the books again this year.  Her little group studied and practiced each week.  Their hard work paid off.  They WON first place in the district level.  WAY TO GO!  I will explain what this is for those who are unaware of this program.  You choose a group of 4 people to form a team.  You can name your team and decorate a sign.  Between the four of them they have to read a list of several books.  If you can all read each book, that helps your chances of winning.  Then you go into battle.  Each team goes against another team.  They are asked a series of questions and have to answer with the name of the book and it's author.  The team with the most points wins that round.  Kaylee's team..."The Chapter Chicks", were in the top teams and were able to move on to the district level.  When they competed in the district level...they won first place against all of the different schools.  I am so proud of them.  They received a medal and a gift card to Barnes and Nobles.
