Book Discussion Today!

December's lunch book discussion will feature the books of your choice. Come to the LMC classroom today during lunch and share your best-bets! BOB members are especially encouraged to attend because we will have NO meeting this month!

*Bring your own lunch. Some snacks will be provided.

Hope to see you there!

Our January selection is Dear John by Nicholas Sparks. Listen for the announcements after break for a specific date.

Read the book over break, come to the discussion in January, then go see the new movie...sounds like a plan to me!

Snow Day!

Due to yesterday's snow day, our meeting will have to be rescheduled. It will not work for me to have it next week Wednesday the 16th--Key Club meets that night--and with all the extracurricular clubs meetings, I think that it will be difficult to have it during 6th hour before the holiday break. Is there a day that works better for you to come during 6th hour or would you prefer a lunchtime meeting?

For sure, the 17th would not work during lunch--book discussion that day! What are your other ideas?!? Please post a comment!!

Moodle is back!

Practice questions will be available starting January 1^st. We will be using Moodle @ http://moodle.cesa11.k12.wi.us/battle/ to communicate with other teams, access practice questions once they become available, and take the Draw10 Quiz. Please do not take the Final Practice Quiz—we will do this together as a team before the final battle. Check Moodle (and our blog!) often for updates.

Our team login information is:

Username: hsberlin

Password: CLUE: a 3-letter abbreviation we use for our team (could also be someone’s name)—See Ms. Gietzel if you need more hints… :)

Take some time to browse around Moodle and brainstorm some information you’d like to see in our team profile…we’ll add this at our next meeting.

Speaking of that, our next meeting will be next Wednesday, December 9^th during 6^th hour in the LMC Classroom. Hope to see you all there.

This cold weather and SNOW makes me want to go home, snuggle under a warm blanket, and read this weekend! Happy reading to you all!!

Little Brother

I just finished reading Little Brother. i thought that was a very good book. It got me intrigued really fast and i finished it quickly too. i didn't get bored in this one. It kept me thinking and on my toes. i kept on thinking something would happen, then bam something else would! i'd recommend this book if you like something to think about, or suspense.

The Hunger Games(#1)

I just finished the first book a few minutes ago and i absolutely LOVED it. I was even crying in a few places now im desperate for the next book and a little obsessed with the book. It was perfect. Its a lot like The Host but yet completely different and i think that's what got me hooked.

Next Meeting!

I hope talking with your teammates at this week’s meeting helped to get you excited about reading more of the Battle books—I know I am! I was lucky enough to pick up a copy of Little Brother by Cory Doctorow today. I’ve heard such great reviews of this book and can’t wait to read it for myself. In any case, I know how I’ll be spending this upcoming rainy weekend…

Listen to the announcements for our next BOB meeting on November 18^th. I mentioned at Tuesday’s meeting that the first book discussion of the year will be on November 12^th on the book Frozen Fire by Tim Bowler. If anyone is looking for a spooky diversion from the Battle books, we’d love for you to join us during lunch on the 12^th!

In the words of former teammate Anthony, read on book lovers…read on!

Resignation

I wanted to make this official, even though I spoke with Ms. Gietzle about this. Unfortunately, I have decided that it would be best if I dropped out for Personal reasons...


Sincerely,
Anthony
