Getting Ready for March Madness!

     There is a lot of excitement in the air for the beginning of March.  Not only will it hopefully bring warmer weather or at least weather that will allow the kids to get outside, but it is also the start of our Picture Book March Madness! 
     For the past few weeks, the kids have been getting ready for March Madness by reading a variety of fiction and nonfiction picture books.  They have been exposed to a lot of great picture books and have been taking some notes about each book.  Next week, we will take the 32 picture books and begin the "MADNESS." 
    Each day books will be going "head to head," and the kids will get to vote for their favorite.  We will start with 32, then narrow it down to 16, 8 and then the final four.  By the end of March, we will have the favorite picture book of our class!
     Be sure to have your child update you on our picture book "bracket."
