Estes Hills wins Battle of Books

Posted on May 11, 2010 by Staff

The “Courageous Carrots” in Stefanie Janke’s fourth-grade class at Estes Hills Elementary won the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Battle of the Books district championship. Battle of the Books is a voluntary reading-enjoyment program. Students read the same books and practice creating and answering recall questions about the books.

For the first time in the history of the competition, students participated in the reading competition via Skype. Fourth- and fifth-grade representatives of McDougle, Carrboro, Scroggs, Seawell and Estes Hills elementary schools used the web technology and SMART Boards in their schools’ media centers to engage in “green” video battles.
