School Things

Here are some more school things for Savannah. She participated in Battle of the Books, which involved about 200 students in 4th, 5th, and 6th grade.  To get there, she had to read 28 books from a Book List.  When they arrived for the competition, they were put into teams with random students from various schools.  They were asked questions about the books, testing their knowledge on the plots, characters, authors, and such.  They had 30 seconds to talk as a team, and then the captain gave an answer.  If they didn't get it right, another team can steal and get the points.  Two teams tied for 1st place, so Savannah's team earned 2nd place (out of about 32 teams).  So her team did really well! 

I went to the school carnival and open house nights.  They had a lot of fun things at the carnival, such as inflatables, popcorn, cake walk, and sno-cones.  She was excited to see her little buddy.  

Here are some other school activities and pictures with friends.  They got to watch the eclipse and do a lab visit.  Her class did a 13 colonies play.  Savannah played the part of Martha Washington and Abigail Adams. Sophia was probably her best friend in class this year, but she still had good friends in the other class that she liked to hang out with at lunch and recess.  She got to go out for lunch with some friends on the last day of school. (I was working that day... so I wasn't there for the last day of school fun.) Savannah really liked her teacher this year.  Savannah got to teach something a few times, with the most recent being hip hop dance moves.

It was a good 5th grade year!
