Inaugural Rooster Games

Thanks to all of the students who read RI Children's Book Award books and participated in the first annual Rooster Games, a test of their knowledge of plots, characters, settings, and illustrations. We had so many kids qualify, we had two teams! Thank you to Kristina Bachner and Jessica Mathias for serving as team managers and keeping the kids on track. 

Here are some photos of the night, and some students' reflections:

Teams rotated through 5 stations

Most of Team 1 - Harini S. read all of the books!
