March (Reading!) Madness

Most of the talk regarding March Madness on the airwaves and on television has to do with the fact that only one number one seed--Duke--made it to the Final Four. Butler?! However, at Calvert, the March Madness is March READING Madness. Under the expert, passionate eye of Lower School Librarian Tina Thomas, students in the Lower School are reading feverishly all month long in a friendly competition to promote reading in each grade level and throughout the entire Lower School. This month, in addition to my regular diet of educational articles, I have read Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel Pink and Seven Secrets of the Savvy School Leader by Robert Evans. I just started NurtureShock: New Thinking About Children by Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman. There are only three days left in March; join the Madness at Calvert and read, read, read!
