March Madness Brackets – 2018

Who loves basketball?? Who loves teams?  Who loves college?  Who loves March!?!  WE DO!

We are in a pool with some of the other 2nd grade Teams!!  We all made predictions and filled out a bracket.  We learned about RANK, Record of Wins-Losses, and REGIONS of the United States!!  What an awesome way to incorporate so many great things!
