Reading Olympics

by Alex G.
Round one of Reading Olympics was amazing! There were five teams of three people. The winning team moved on to the final round at the Oak Park Public Library. The winning team was Emma V. from Ms. Manuel’s class, and Maggie F. and Gracie F. from Ms. Kraft’s homeroom. At the Library their team and another team were neck and neck. They had to move on to the Sudden Death round! In this round if you got a wrong answer you were out. The other team gave the wrong name for the author giving Holmes the victory! The team’s strategy was reading all the books and paying attention to details. Gracie and Maggie’s favorite books were Dealing with Dragons and Emmy and the Incredible Shrinking Rat. Emma’s favorite book was Dealing with Dragons. All three of them look forward to the second round in the Spring. Good luck!
