March Madness

Coleytown is celebrating March Madness with a Tournament of Books!  Eight picture books are in competition for the honor of winning, "Coleytown's Favorite Picture Book of 2020."

Classrooms have been reading these picture books throughout the week.  During Community Time, some classes rotated through their grade level teachers to hear different stories.  In addition, many classrooms have been watching the authors read their stories online. 

Families might want to read some of these amazing titles at home.  Our Elite Eight consists of:

After the Fall by Dan Santat
Just Ask by Sonya Sotomayor
Saturday by Oge Mora
The Brilliant Deep by Kate Messner
The Day You Begin by Jacqueline Woodson
Mixed: A Colorful Story by Arree Chung
Sulwe by Lupita Nyong'o
Be Kind by Pat Zietlow Miller

Check out some photos from the classes enjoying these amazing picture books!
