Yesterday was the sixth round of the Battle of the Books.
Once again, the Hypernovas proved dominant, this time with 14 points. The
Fantasy Readers scored 12, the Bookworms 11, the One Way Ticket 10, the
Quadruplets of Doom 9, and the Return of the ABMW 10. Once again, the
Hypernovas achieved an almost perfect score! They will be facing off with the
Fantasy Readers and maybe even the Bookworms, because they have two challenges!
What will happen next?
Today was the seventh and final round of the Battle of the
Books. Since the teams were mostly Ms. Chen’s kids (there was one kid from Ms. Lynch
in the Fantasy Readers), the whole class came to watch while eating lunch! The
score was close – the Fantasy Readers 13, and the Hypernovas 15! For the first
time, the Hypernovas scored a perfect score! The problem is… they are moving on
to the district against Blackwell, another school known for its well-educated
students! The Hypernovas may be Ms. Chen’s first group of school champions, but
what will happen with Blackwell in the Battles?
Patrick,
ReplyDeleteI called grandma tonight as my regular "talk to parents" bi-weekly chore. Grandma asked about you and once I started, I cannot stop helping myself from talking. I am so proud of you!
First of all, you did all this without "us". You participate the program by your own wish, you well planned the progress. I would not believe that you are so motivated before and I am really happy to see this. This is the kind of "motivation" I always want to see in you. Your life is in your own control. We are here to guide and help, but you design your own life!
Secondly, you are great team member to have and you presented your leadership in this process.Initially at this Battle of Book, I remember you have a little bit struggled at the responsibility-- you read so many books while your team mates are not up to speed yet. Remember we talked about this? I think you really set up a great example for your teammates. Both your dad and I had doubts that if you should read all that books. Even though you enjoyed the process very much, we were hoping you do not have to get up early and go to bed that late. But you did it, persistently. Gradually, your teammates are more involved and together you are a great team!
Love,
M
