Hurry...It's March Book Madness Time

Please help me give my students the books listed for the middle school March Book Madness competition.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Spivey's classroom raised $294

My Students

My students attend the only 6th-grade school in our district. The students were virtual from March 2020 until March 2021. We returned to school on campus in August 2021 and hoped to remain in person for the remainder of the year.

The students at my school are enthusiastic learners who have been navigating the virtual and digital learning world with efficiency.

All students were issued chrome books at the beginning of the year. Many students in the school say that they have difficulty completing assignments because of a lack of supplies and resources.

My Project

The students are excited every year to see what books will be listed for the middle school March Book Madness competition. This year's theme for March Book Madness is Turning Points.

I love the saying "Books Always Win." The books provided each year for this competition are those award-winning books that students cannot wait to get their hands on.

They are also very relatable and age-appropriate, and the students love voting each week for which book they think will "win" March Madness. Each week, the students take ownership of this project as they complete their bracket.
