Battle Of The Books

Recently Jackson competed in a book based school competition titled, "Battle Of The Books." He had to read 8 different books in a little over a months time and then his team of 4 had to compete against 7 other teams of 4 in a school wide Jeopardy style competition.

All of the kids did so great. 8 books in one month ain't no joke. Especially when you are 9.
