During the month of March, NAC Elementary students have participated in the thrilling 5th annual March Madness Book Tournament! This year's theme is football, and the competition between books is intense! As we enter the semi-final "conference championships" round of competition, we are down to the last four challengers: "Bad Kitty
Does NOT Like Video Games" vs "So Cozy" and "Creepy Crayon" vs "Nugget and Fang." The final, "Super Bowl" championship round will be held Friday, March 28. Ask the elementary student in your life which book they will be voting for and encourage them to dress up in the color or costume that supports their book champion on Friday.
May the best book win!
Dear NAC Families,
During the month of March, we will be learning about Habit #6: Synergize. This habit is about working together. Here are the main points that you can discuss with your child:
● I can work in groups with other people.
● I appreciate other people’s strengths and try to learn from them.
● I realize that more can be done when we work together as a team.
The NAC Elementary March Madness book tournament returns for its 5th year on March 3! This year the theme has changed to football, with the culminating Super Bowl of Books on March 28th.
Each day of March, students will watch read-aloud videos of that day's book contestants and vote as a class for which book they would like to advance in the competition bracket. At the end of the month, we'll have a champion! Students and staff are encouraged to dress up for the March 28 finale by donning an outfit in the colors, style, or characters of the favorite they're rooting for.
May the BEST BOOK WIN!
