Third Graders battled it out in the library today with a series of challenges set up to reinforce the alphabetical arrangement of fiction by author. Students have been divided into two teams (A’s and Z’s) and will compete periodically in challenges that develop their library and language skills. This months challenges involved arranging themselves in alphabetical order by last name, birth month and middle name; looking up words in the dictionary and locating specific books in the fiction stacks. Teamwork and good sportsmanship abounded today with the teams’ scores separated by one point! We concluded with book browsing and checkout. Books are due back on 11/20. Happy Reading!
