¡Batalla de los Libros/ Battle of the Books!

Congratulations to our 4th & 5th students who participated in FPG Bilingüe's first Batalla de los Libros!  To compete in the Batalla de los Libros, students had to read 14 books, create blogs, posters or questions in Spanish about the books, and finally answer questions in a timed competition. A team of eight representatives, chosen based on who scored the highest, will compete against a team of students from Carrboro Elementary via Skype.
