Name that Book!!!
Launch the media gallery 1 playerStudents at Stockdale Elementary participated in a competition called, “Name That Book!” The competition is for 3rd -5th graders who enjoy reading. Students had to qualify for the competition in October and were then placed on teams. The teams were given a list with twenty books to read throughout the year to prepare for the competition. The competition is set up similar to a game show. The teams are orally given a quote and they have to determine which book the quote comes from without an actual list in from of them. With each correct answer the teams are awarded points. The team with most points after 25 questions wins the competition. The local winning team advances to the Regional competition in Seguin to compete against the winning teams of each of Seguin’s elementary schools.
Stockdale held its local competition on May 22 with 37 students competing on seven teams. The competition was very close and exciting! The point spread between all of the teams at the end of the competition was only three points. We also had a tie breaker to determine 2nd and 3rd place. The teams and places consisted of the following:
