How the Sunshine State Book Battle for the 3rd-5th grade books works:

We have two 3rd-5th grade book battles per school year. The December Book Battle was held on Thursday, December 16th. The Spring Book Battle washeld on Wednesday, April 20th, 2022.
All grade levels are eligible, but only students who read and pass the Sunshine State quiz on the MyLearning 2021-2022 SSYRA course with a score of 8 or higher for at least FIVE of the below eight books by Wednesday, April 13th participated in the Spring Book Battle.
Everyone who qualified for a book battle appears on this Shout-out page and received an invitation to that book battle.
On the day of the book battle, all invited participants were called down to the Media Center at the time of the battle.
All participants battled in a live Kahoot consisting of 3 multiple-choice questions for each of the books (so although not all of the books were required to qualify for the book battles, those who read all of the books had the potential to get a higher score during the Kahoot.)
On Friday, April 22nd, 2022, the top 4 finishers from the Spring Book Battle battled each other and qualifying staff members.
See above for the different brag tags that may be earned by the participating students.
