<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope your school years are off to a good start or you are feeling ready for a new year to start.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am wondering if anyone is planning on organizing a virtual Battle of the Books competition this year? I have never done a regular Battle of the Books competition but I am assuming it would not be difficult to hold competitions via Zoom
or other video chat platform. I am planning on running one for our 3rd-5<sup>th</sup> grade students and our 6<sup>th</sup>-8<sup>th</sup> grade students using the short 10 book list.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please reach out to me if you would be interested in brainstorming a virtual Battle of the Books and possibly competing sometime in March!
