We wanted to create a way where we could read a few books, learn about many titles and have fun doing it! The tournament style reading of the Mighty Smackdown means that in the first round each participant reads two books, discusses both in a blog post, selecting one book to move on to the next round. Teachers are asked to commit to one round but most, if not all, continue on. We will read to the end when we will have only one book left standing!
About Our Logo Pictured Below
When Dia and Arlene were collaborating in the creation of the logo, we were looking for something that would be fun but also foreshadow the passionate discussions that we were going to have about books. We found an image, however, we didn't want to infringe upon copyright. Because we are a K-9 school, we emailed one of our grade one teachers. The subject of the email: A proposition.... In the message, we simply had pasted the link. In reply, Julie said, "I'm curious!" And, this was how our logo was born. Julie showed her grade one students the copyrighted image. Of course, they believed they could do better and so did we! This year we will have our new K-9 art teacher create a new piece of art for a new Smackdown year.
