Battle of the Books: Parent Letter and Book List

The book lis for the 2013-2014 Battle of the Books has been chosen!! Please take a look at the parent letter as well as the list of Titles!  I will be working to acquire as many of the Battle titles this year for our classroom library.  You can also find these titles at local libraries and if one or more are of particular interest to you, you could pick them up at your local book store.

We will be reading some of the Battle Books this year as read alouds with the whole class.  4th Graders may also choose to read any title as their independent reading book.  Many 4th graders last year found reading the harder titles at home with a parent or family members a successful way to get through some of the more challenging Titles.

We will keep a tally of how many battle books students read on our Data wall to keep us motivated throughout the year!

 Let the Battle Begin!

Battle of the Books!

We are excited to start participating in Battle of the Books this year in Marshall!  We kicked off this endeavor on Tuesday when Mrs. Landers our TAG coordinator came in to our classroom to introduce Battle of the Books and give us the book list!  I will have copies of as many of these books in our classroom that I can get my hands on, but they can also be checked out in our library as well as at the public libraries in the area.  Check out the parent letter below, or print off a copy to see specifics :)

As an extra incentive I have place a graph on our data wall to keep track of how many of the books each student has read.  I will also be reading the books and will post which book I am reading in our classroom.

Let the battle begin!!!
