District Battle of the Bluebonnets

Last week, our team of Union Hill 5th graders traveled to Teravista Elementary to compete against 23 other elementary schools in the Battle of the Bluebonnets!

We met each day during lunch to review and study the books.  Their hard work prepared them, but some of the questions were tough!
It was fun to celebrate when they got answer correct!

We would like to give a big "thank you" to Brian Mays from KVUE News.  He came and Emceed the event.  He was wonderful!

Congratulations to our 5 students who made the team!  We are so proud of you!

Battle of the Bluebonnets

On March 7th, 30 students from Union Hill competed against each other in the Battle of the Bluebonnets! Students had to read at least 10 of the 20 books on the list to get invited to the Battle. 

Battle of the Bluebonnets is like a game show where students use ActiveVotes to send in their answers. The five students with the highest scores are invited to the district wide Battle of the Bluebonnets. At the district competition, our five students will compete as a team against other strong readers from around the district. The district wide battle is this Thursday, March 21st at Teravista Elementary.  Wish our team luck!
