Last Friday Halle participated in the battle of the books at Gillam. Her teacher chose her and one other student from her class and the other first grade teacher chose 2 students. Halle, Peyton, Maddi, and Kennedy got 2nd loosing to Ashdown.
The girls read about 20 books and were quizzed on them. Plus they had to know the authors of the books.
Parents were not allowed to go but Halle told me that the Ashdown team was a group of boys. She informed me that those mean ol' boys beat them! LOL They were excited to get 2nd and were really proud of themselves. They got a ribbon and are suppose to be getting trophies according to Halle.
They got to go play at the park in DeQueen afterwards. I think Halle enjoyed this and getting to ride a bus more than she did the battle of the books! :) She told me that she was so nervous that she could barely speak. Plus she was afraid that they might not be able to understand her because she is still talking differently due to her having no top front teeth.
She enjoyed the day out of school!
