What is Battle of the Books?
Students (grades 4-6) who read at least 5 books and complete the online summary form will be able to participate in the school Battle of the Books in late winter 2023. Students will compete in a question and answer format about the 20 assigned books. The top four school winners will represent Indian Hills during the district Battle of the Books in 2023. The Battle of the Books is a competition, but most importantly, it creates excitement about high quality children's literature. The book list offers a variety of books, so everyone will find something that they like. Students might even discover a new genre type. So keep reading and don't forget to complete the summary. If students can't remember which summaries they have complete, they can stop in the library to see their progress.

About Me
This is my seventh year at Indian Hills and my 12th year as a Library Technology Teacher. Additionally, I have over 10 years of experience teaching Secondary Science. I have taught in Bolivia, Texas, England, and Utah. I have a BS in Natural Resources and Environmental Science from Purdue University and a MS in Secondary Education from Indiana University. I have additional endorsements in ESL and Educational Technology.
I enjoy working at Indian Hills because the students are eager to learn new things, and I am able to learn new things from them.
