[LM_NET] Elem: Reading Olympics-Mountgomery County, PA

[Jayne Dambman <jdambman@CVAI.ORG>]

I'm looking for some good ideas to prepare my 4th and 5th graders for  
the Reading Olympics. This is the first year for Delaware County to  
be in the Reading Olympics and I thought I would ask our neighbors  
from Montgomery county what is the best way to prepare the elementary  
students. I have the books available for them. We have started to  
have lunch together once a week. They each have a notebook to keep  
some notes on each book. We have 1 fourth grade team and 2 fifth  
teams. Since their lunch times are different, we've kept them as  
different teams. However, we have a wiki that we share comments on  
together. Since we are all reading different books - I am wondering  
how to make the best use of that lunch time discussion.

For those of you who have already had teams, what have you found to  
be the best way to prepare students for the reading olympics quiz night?

Thank you!
