**BoB**  The Battle of the Books by Eithar and Ayla ☺

BoB is over for this year and the first year! 4th grade won over 5th. Surprising right? This is a great program to encourage kids to read fantastic books such as

Dear Mr. Henshaw by Beverly Cleary Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder Sounder by William H. Armstrong Freckle Juice by: Judy Blume Shoeshine Girl by Clyde Robert Bulla Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K Rowling Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by: Roald Dahl The Indian in the Cupboard by: Lynne Reid Banks Island and the Blue Dolphins by: Scott O’Dell

The teams that participated in the BoBB were the BoB Rockets, Go Green, James BoB, Readerators, Shadow Sharks, and Gigaton Amoebas. Some of these teams dressed up based on their team name. Go Green wore green headbands and capes. In the contest, contestants had to answer certain questions, which the presenters, Mrs. Shahen and Mr. Wilson read aloud. During a short break, Mr. Wilson entertained the audience with a special dance to the tune of the Newlywed Game. Guess who won? James BoB! The runners up were the Readerators. We would like to thank Abu Karbal Bookshop for donating BoB t-shirts and gift certificates. We would also like to thank Mrs. Shahen, Mr. Wilson, and Mrs. Hoiseth for putting together BoB! Look for next year's BoB titles on the ASD school Web site. .
