Angell Students Compete in Battle of the Books

Angell Students Compete in Battle of the Books

Angell Elementary held their annual Battle of the Books competition on February 8, 2023. Battle of the Books is a reading challenge for 4th and 5th grade students in which participants are placed on a team, read from a selected list of books, and then compete against other teams by answering questions about those books. 

Angell Media Specialist Julie Mckeeman shared, “I am so proud of all 45 students who participated. This reading challenge is above and beyond the normal expectations of the classroom. The teams worked diligently to become experts in their books and it showed during the Battle. This was a very close ending score, with a difference of one point between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.”

Angell students read the following books: 

  • The Elephant in the Room by Holly Goldberg Sloan
  • Exploring the White House by Kate Andersen Brower
  • Amari and the Night Brothers by B. B. Alston
  • Invisible by Christina Diaz Gonzalez and Gabriela Epstein
  • Ancestor Approved by Cynthia L. Smith
  • A Place to Hang the Moon by Kate Albus

Congratulations to Angell’s winning team, The Sus Tigers!
