Volunteers Needed:
We are gearing up for our Fall Book Fair and need your help! We are looking for volunteers to set up/clean up, to help students find books, and to run the cash registers. Please view the Sign Up Genius HERE to help support our school. All shifts are 2 hours in length. All funds from the book fair go back into the hands of kids in the form of books and library supplies.
3rd and 4th Grade Battle of the Books Teams
Battle of the Books is a bowl-style trivia tournament that’s all about books, engaging hundreds of young minds every year. The program is active at Douglas County Libraries’ Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree and Parker locations. Dozens of teams in grades 3-6 compete against each other in inter-school battles and finals tournaments to determine a districtwide champion for all of Douglas County. You can find more information at https://blogs.
Mrs. Hayes will be holding a book club for 3rd and 4th graders who are seriously interested in participating in Battle of the Books. They will meet weekly and students will be expected to read all 10 books and meet minimum requirements to be considered for the final team which will be seven students. Five students can compete at once and there will be two alternates. Students will take turns sitting out on battles, so that everyone has a chance to participate. Students will meet with Mrs. Hayes in her classroom on Tuesdays before school from 7:40 - 8:15 am. If a student is not actively reading, participating, and contributing, they will be asked to leave the club. Battle of the Books is so much fun, but there is a rigorous academic component to it. The team chosen has to rely on each other and trust that all members have done their part.
Students should start reading now as the list came out during Labor Day weekend. Mrs. Hayes has the list and more information on her website. https://ihe.dcsdk12.org/
