We have a great group of students who are avidly reading their Idaho Battle of the Books (IBOB) books to prepare for the battles that will start after winter break. \r\nOur group of readers have been enjoying the varied genres and have started writing practice questions to help with battle preparation. Several of the book titles have spread by word-of-mouth and have become popular with students who are not participating in IBOB - but have found a joy of reading. \r\nThere are several IBOB teams who participated last year, and they are excited to try to qualify for the regional tournament and hopefully for the first ever state level tournament. The competition will be fierce!\r\nYour support of our IBOB teams is greatly appreciated by myself and my students.
