March Madness
March Madness is Ms. Herrings favorite time of year! What a fun time to focus on
College and Career Readiness as we keep our eye on who will end up as this years
National Champions (hopefully UVa!). As part of March Madness and National
Literacy Month we will have a lot of fun activities happening in room 30. We will be
researching colleges; tracking the NCAA bracket; putting picture books head to
head in our own literacy bracket; compete to read the most minutes for prize
raffles; and much more! We are excited for the upcoming month.
