Tournament of Books Champion!

Last week we voted for the last time in our tournament of books & determined a winner! The K-3 students had a great time through the month of March reading Dr. Seuss books & learning more about the author.

Here is how our bracket started at the beginning of the month. The K-1 students read the books on the left side, and the 2-3 students read the right side. After reading each pairing, the students voted using a Google Form & I checked the winners and moved them along on our hallway display.

We had a K-3 awards ceremony scheduled, so I thought that would be the perfect way to announce the winner to all the students at the same time. I had one student from each grade level help me out. The K-1 students had voted The Cat in the Hat to advance to the final round, and the 2-3 graders had selected The Lorax.

The audience thought that The Lorax would win, and they were right! The Lorax won 98-22 over The Cat in the Hat. I thought it would've been a closer vote, but I was wrong!

And here it is moved over on the hallway bracket. We crowned the champion! All the students were given a Dr. Seuss pencil, bookmark, sticker, or eraser based on grade level as a reward for participating and helping celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday all month long!
