Oregon Battle of the Books

 This year for Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB) my fifth grade team is called the Cookie Monsters. On Monday of this week we won our battle against another team in our class-we had already beaten them and the other team once so we were the class winners and earned the great pizza party.

The battle was long and hard and it just so happened that the day it mattered most I was gone, but luckily my sub Ava was great! After FIVE tie breakers going back and forth from team to team the Cookie Monsters finally pulled ahead and won! By just half a point!
