Please fill this form if you or your child are interested in participating in the Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB) this year.

Due to current circumstances, OBOB regional or state competitions will not take place this year.  We will have a local online school competition, however.  The competition would occur later in the school year with some changes due to online learning.  There will be more details and information about the changes in a few weeks.  This form will provide Mr. Rocha with information coordinating this reading program.

Oregon Battle of the Books, OBOB, is a statewide voluntary reading motivation and comprehension program sponsored by the Oregon Association of School Libraries.  Students in 3rd-12th grade, regardless of ability, are exposed to quality literature representing a variety of literary styles and viewpoints. The mission is to encourage and recognize students who enjoy reading, to broaden reading interests, to increase reading comprehension, promote academic excellence, and to promote cooperative learning and teamwork among students.

Are you able to purchase, obtain or borrow these books https://www.bit.ly/OBOB2021BL? *
Prior to this year, all 3rd-5th grade students who wanted to participate needed to form a team of 4-5 players.  Will you or the student be able to organize online meetings with team members to discuss the books and practice questions outside of school hours? *
If teams are not able to meet after school, would you consider participating in a possible after school OBOB book club (around 2:30-3:15)?   *
