OBOB




UPDATE February 19th, 2015
The students did a fantastic job at our school wide battle one of our teams made it to the final battle and ended up only loosing by 5 points.  
OBOB has released a partial list of books and the kids are ready to get started for next year!  
Happy Reading and we wish tons of luck to the 5th grade team attending regionals!


We are excited to have two OBOB teams this year in 3rd grade.  Below you will find some information about how OBOB is run in our classroom.  

We have two teams of four with one alternate on each team.  The children will each be assigned 4 books to become experts on between now and January.  In January we will start have mock battles in the classroom as well as with other OBOB school participants.  
One team from Boise-Eliot/Humboldt will attend the regional OBOB competition in the spring.

I will continue to update the blog with information about book assignments as well as dates and important announcements around OBOB.

Please let me know if you have questions.
