Last school year I saw a teacher on Instagram talk about this really cool program her school did called March Book Madness! After learning more about it I thought, it was such an amazing idea I wanted to implement myself this year. We are requesting colorful and educational books with strong lead characters, from many diverse backgrounds. I want to engage my students in reading, like you've never seen before, "Books always win!" How March Book Madness works is similar to March Madness Basketball Contest. Sixteen picture book titles have been picked for this year's bracket with a specific theme in mind. This year's theme is: "Brave and Bold". Throughout March we will read the books in the brackets and the students will vote on which title is their favorite until we get down to the Championship Bracket. During this challenge we will discuss many literary topics such, theme, compare and contrast, vocabulary, and inferring. My goal in this project is to get my students fired up about reading and in the process develop their literary concepts. My students will absolutely love this program, but I need your help to make it reality! This project is to get us all 16 picture books that are in the bracket for this years March Book Madness.
