March Madness Book Tournament


Our 2018 March Madness Book Tournament is underway.  We started with the Sweet 16 and we are down to the Final Four.  We have about 200 students participating in our tournament to declare the 2018 book of the year.  Students in grades 1-4 are getting two books read to them a day.  Then, the students vote.  Teachers are adding votes to a spread sheet and when all the participating classes have read and voted we are able to change the bracket.  It is so fun to walk by the large bracket by the lunch room and hear the students discussing their favorite book picks!  Click on this link: 2018 March Book Madness List.  The link will take you to a document of all the tournament books in their Sweet 16 match ups.  There is also a brief description on each book.


Ask your child about their favorites in the tournament.  We have been posting about our favorites to SeeSaw.  Some of the books are funny and others are moving.  The students seem to be loving the true stories the most.  The students all made their predictions on Friday and filled out a bracket with their opinions.  Time will tell!  The voting is getting harder and harder.  Stay tuned to learn what book wins!
