The 
Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl (HRRB) is a fun, quiz-bowl type competition.

At the Bowl, students strive to "buzz" in and correctly answer questions about the current year's Georgia Book Award nominees faster than the opposing teams.

Mrs. Gilley and Mr. Clarke will sponsor a club based on the Bowl for 4th and 5th graders. Members will read and discuss the nominee books (see categories below).  Ten reading bowl club members will be selected to represent Allgood Elementary at the HRRB (date/time/place TBD).

Team members will be chosen based upon behaviors exhibited at the meeting as outlined in the team selection rubric (see links below).

The HRRB Club/Team will meet in the media center (date/time/place TBD).  
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Team selection will be announced before Thanksgiving break. After the announcement, only the ten chosen team members will attend remaining practices in January. Other club members are excused.

To be in the club...
 
1. Start checking out and reading the nominee books. You can check them out from Sora:  https://soraapp.com/library/dekalbga . Click here for Sora instructions. 
 
2. Plan to attend our meetings! 

3. Students will try to secure a spot on the HRRB team by earning points from the team selection rubric AND by *trying out* for the books they have read.
 

As always, there are many wonderful books on the GA CBA/HRRB list!  Many of the books touch on complicated topics that are relevant to what is happening in our world today. We are trying to encourage students to read a variety of books AND be a competitive team at the same time! Thank you for joining us.
 

We look forward to seeing you at
our Reading Bowl Club meeting!

Students will be invited to participate on the team based on their performance as assessed using this rubric.


Reading Bowl Club/Team Meetings Schedule (TBA)
All 4th and 5th grade students who have read at least one of the HRRB books is welcome to attend CLUB meetings. Ten team members will be chosen in November and will practice in December and January.
