Every Wednesday this month, Mr. Engel's and Mrs. Cutting's WIN group played March Madness after their lesson. The students were given a minute during their turn and after every shot made would have to write a word with a designated sound in it to earn a point. The points they got for correct words were added up each week with today being the final day. (Championship Game) Each student got an award with the prizes getting bigger for each place holder. Kendallyn from 5th grade was our 1st place Champion with 18 points! WAY TO GO KENDALLYN!
