Tucker participated for another year, of battle of the books, and I got to help out too! It’s been an event that’s a year in the making. A year of reading books, tracking students’ progress, helping with pizza luncheons, and etc. It’s been an honor to help these kiddos, and I’m so proud of Tucker, and how hard he worked at preparing for the battle!
The students are broken up into teams, based upon how many books they have read, so that the teams will be even. Then after the teams are chosen, they meet together to choose out team names, and Captains. (Tucker’s team was the Destroyers), Then during the month of March the Battles Begin!
The battles take a week to complete, and it’s just like March Madness for basketball. They battle, the points are totaled and then they are put in brackets to compete against each other.
And here is the shots of the videos of them going up against his good friend Andrea’s Team, for the spot in the school assembly:
Here’s Tuckers score sheet after the battles had occurred.
By the end of the week, (me putting in over 25 hours at the school), we were pretty tired! 🙂
