I Caught It

Yep. I caught March Madness Fever! And I’m spreading it. Ha ha ha. I have a co-worker, Julie, who is following the games now. We’ve both filled out our brackets and then we found the live game audio on the internet. The “Watch Live” video wouldn’t work :(

I’m even thinking about spreading it to my students…. I don’t think I will. I don’t know how it will help them. :) It’s an experience of American life, I suppose.

I really need to get ready for class now. I was expecting to plan during this free class period – instead I got sucked into college basketball. Yes!

I’m back from class and I have a confession: I did have my students fill out brackets. Te he he. Some of them just randomly chose names (some even had BYU going all the way – ouch for them) and others struggled. One boy said he hasn’t watched them play so he doesn’t know how to choose! He had all the 1-seeds in the Final Four.

I think it was fun. Hopefully they’ll catch the fever and really enjoy it as we continue. Here’s a few pictures when we were working on our brackets.

PS I love the “boss button” on the USA Today ‘March Madness on Demand’. Hilarious!


Julie filling in her bracket.

Our two brackets in front of my computer. We went online to see how we've done so far. RESULTS: I have 7 correct and 2 wrong. Julie has less correct than I do. (sad thing - some of my students have 8 correct!)

Look at our filled-out brackets!

I tried agan and you can just see the edge of my bracket. Not my best self-potrait day.
