What is.....Hunter's Reading Madness (HRM)
Hunter's Reading Madness (named for our mascot, Hunter the Coyote) is a (mostly) year long, bracket-style elimination tournament where all students, Grades K-5, read a total of 32 books as a school and vote on which books will win each tournament level.
Round 1: Monthly Book Reading: From 32 books to 16 books (October-January)
8 Books in each monthly bracket (2 books per bracket/4 brackets=8 books) are read and voted on in each classroom at the end of the month. The top 4 books (1 from each of the 4 brackets) that have the highest totals from all classrooms combined win the school-wide vote. This monthly voting process begins in October and ends in January to vote 32 books down to 16.
Round 2: Weekly Book Reading: From 16 books to 8 books (February)
The final 4 books in each month's category (2 books per bracket/2 brackets=4 books) are read again in February.
The First week of February, the final 4 books from October will be voted on by each class.
The Second week of February, the final 4 books from November will be voted on by each class.
