Battle of the Books

[checkers65477]

We're taking the team to competition tomorrow.  I think they will do pretty well, but I'll be surprised if they win.  There are several younger students on the team and they just don't seem mature or directed enough to keep their heads when the questions get hard.  That's ok.  They are beside themselves with excitement and not intimidated at all.  They are confident.  I think they will have fun, which is an added bonus.  

I have to work at the competition, which really sucks.  While another teacher is with the team, I'll be clicking the ol' stopwatch all day.  Plus, we have to leave at 7 am.  Jeez.

That sounds like fun! I would have rocked in that competition when I was at school. But I can see that the whole up early on a Saturday/clicking the stopwatch thing might not be as much fun.

That sounds like a lot of fun (for them, at least!) which is the most important thing, I would think. Good luck!

That does sound like fun, (for them, not so much for you), I hope your team does well and has a great time.

Good luck. I hope you have lots of fun and kick butt more than ever! 7am sucks.

So ... how'd it go? Was it fun? Were there good books cited, and did you find out about new ones you want to go and read now?
