Reading Games

Avery participated in the Reading Games this year with a team of 6th graders from her school. There is a reading list of 9 books and teams of around 8 kids per each grade from each school. Each kid can read a subset of the books or read them all if they want. Then, they spend a day competing against other teams answering trivia questions about those books. Each team comes up with a costume and team name. Avery's team was the Winning Formula and race car themed. One of the books was math/formula related.

The competition was tough! The kids did great and ended up with a blue ribbon. From what I understand, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams gets ribbons with that on them. Then, the 4th and 5th place teams get blue ribbons and everyone else gets red ribbons. But, I think there were more than two blue ribbons, so there must have been a tie somewhere. Parents weren't allowed to watch because of space constraints, so I didn't get to go. But, we got updates from the parent chaperone. She also sent out pictures!

Afterwards, we went to Oberweiss for treats to celebrate!
