March means lots of talk about the college basketball championships! We created these activities to engage students through the season of basketball madness. First up – a freebie! This Basketball Book Report is an easy format to follow for students when doing a book report. For a fun twist, we have a small basketball hoop attached to our classroom doors where students can take shots as well. This is great for March Madness!
