Battle of the Books is a reading competition for third, fourth, and fifth grade students at Chets Creek Elementary. To participate in the competition, students read books from the Battle of the Books List. The fifteen titles used in this competition are the Sunshine State Young Readers’ Award nominees for this year. Battle of the Books culminates in three “battles” where teams buzz in to answer questions about the books. Last year Mr. Montisano and Mrs. Nash’s Third Grade “Bookaneers” won the Battle of the Books! These amazing third graders received gold medals and a pizza party for their class!

Miss Russell,
I absollutly LOVE "The Thing About Gorgie!" It is an awsome and really funny book. I love how it tells you to do stuff. Right now I am reading "Clementine" it is funny but not as funny as Gorgie! You rock!
love,
Kayla=)
Miss Russell, I love your blog. I can`t wait till I get my own. I would try to get on it every day! By the way, I love all of the Battle Books I`ve read. Love you. Bye, Alise
We are reading , " The Thing About Georgie" in our class too. We did an activity where we wrote about "The thing about me...." IT was very entertaining!
