The Peabody School March Madness Reading
Competition and Celebration will begin on Monday,
March 2 and run through April 3.
- Students will earn points for their team based on the
number of minutes read daily at home during March
Madness.
- Each student will log their daily reading onto the
March Madness Reading Log.
- Students will hand in the paper copy of their reading
log to their classroom teacher every Friday morning.
- Students should continue to log their weekly minutes
and hand them in each Friday morning.
- Team points will be tallied and recorded every week
onto a large graph in the main hallway.
- Books read in school are not eligible for points.
- Books read as a part of nightly reading can be
counted. (March Madness reading does not have to
be in addition to regular home reading, although we
hope students will be more inclined to read.)
- There will be a separate point system for grades K-1
and grades 2-5.
Point System
Read a book (or have it read to you in gr. K and 1) and record your daily minutes read onto the March Madness Reading Log. A weekly reading log will be sent home every Friday.
- Points will be based on the number of minutes read
weekly by each class.
- K & 1: Every 15 minutes = 1 point
- Grades 2 – 5: Every 30 minutes = 1 point
