March Madness Book Challenge
Winners!!! The girls of Mr. Snyder's class were declared the winners of the March Madness Book Challenge, after the boys of Mrs. Grafing's class conceded. The girls read more books than any other class during the "tournament".
March Madness Book Challenge:
The first annual March Madness Book Challenge will be starting March 9 and going through April 3rd. This is a competition I am starting to encourage students to read more. The "tournament" is set up similar to the NCAA College Basketball Tournament, except there are only 16 teams involved. The goal is to read more books and record more "points" than the other team. I am very excited to see how this plays out. If the students enjoy it, it will be come an annual thing!
