Surprise Sunday #6 - Picture Book March Madness

Picture Book March Madness

*I'm excited to kick off "Picture Book March Madness".

*This activity will coincide with NCAA March Madness.



*This idea stemmed from a discussion via Twitter with Scott Jones (@escott818) and Jason Lewis (@jasontes5th).  They are both doing this "activity" with their classes.

*Our readers will be reading 32 picture books and ranking them so they can be added to our picture book brackets for March Madness voting.

*I will be kicking this off on Tuesday so we are ready for our very own March Madness.

*Here are the details and picture books we will be using…
