Florida schools have a list of books for various combined grades called Sunshine State Readers. This years list had 15 books on it which can be viewed here. Then the kids take a multiple choice/short answer test and the highest 3 scores for a team to go to a quiz show program called Battle of the Books. Schools compete against other schools in their district, region, etc. Does this sound familiar? Well last year Tori made the team as an alternate but since the three team members stayed healthy and required no bathroom breaks she did not actually get to play the game despite having practiced with them. This year she scored the second highest grade on the test and is one of three students on the team!
Her 4th grade chorus will be presenting a spring concert including a Broadway medley of songs. She also earned one of two solos in the entire concert - singing an entire verse of Tomorrow from Annie.
