Connecting Students
Elkhorn Elementary Schools have their own local version of Battle of the Books for 4th and 5th graders. This year-long club brings together students’ love of reading and competition! They create their own teams of four, and together read a total of 24 books. Teams get together monthly to discuss their novels and to test their knowledge of the details in each book. At the end of the year, students compete at the school level to see who knows their books best. The top four teams then head to a district competition to battle against teams from 2 other Elkhorn schools. The time and effort put in each month brings a sense of accomplishment and adds excitement to the competition.
