Homer Highlights
Week of March 15, 2021
Dear Families,
March Madness - Book Bracket at Lillian Fletcher Elementary!!!
The fourth grade team of Mrs. Ashley Prueter and Mrs. Deven Tyler decided to combine two March favorites - March is Reading Month and March Madness - into one fun activity for their students! They started by selecting their Sweet 16 books! Students were able to nominate and vote in 16 books that they believe deserved a spot on the March Madness Book Bracket. With two sides to fill, students voted on 8 non-fiction texts and 8 fictional stories.
Their book bracket is in the same format as the March Madness basketball bracket. They have a Sweet 16, Elite 8, Final 4, and Finals. Each day, they will read two stories. Students will write their response on a sticky note and decide if this is a story that they would recommend or not. These thoughts will be shared with each other and displayed in the hall. After both stories are read, students will then vote on what story they liked the best out of the two. They will then combine the votes between the two 4th grade classes and the winning book moves on!
To make the competition more challenging in the Elite 8 and Final 4, students will then need to have more evidence to defend their choice. They will compare and contrast the stories to decide which one should move on to the next round!
At the Finals, the classes will have one fiction story and one non-fiction story to compare and contrast! The winner of those two texts will be declared the best of the best! Good luck to our books and our 4th grade readers!!!
Other grades are also doing a number of fun activities to encourage a love and excitment for reading! Be sure to ask your students what's happening in their classrooms!
