With a toddler and newborn, I haven’t posted as much as I would like the past year. But if there’s one thing that gets me foregoing sleep so I can work on creating… it’s the annual March Music Madness. We are happy to announce that our playlist has been shared and we are gearing up for our 12th bracket tournament.

At the moment, we are having a final vote for the 16th and final song of the bracket. You can vote for your favorite now through January 16 (You can also share this link with your students and have them vote as well). [Edit: Himalaya won with 35% of the vote, narrowly beating Vamo’Echando with 33%)

So, it’s time to get started…. Here’s a quick list to get your started:

• Start playing the songs in class while your students work or as they walk in the room. The idea is to let them hear the song a few times so that by March, they say “Hey, I’ve heard this song before…”
  
• Purchase the Unit on TpT, which is now 50% off until February, and will be updated continuously.
  
• Purchase is not required to participate in our bracket or our polls. This year to track downloads, you can download the free “preview” document on the TpT page, which will give you what you need to get started.
  
• Get the word out! Comment on our Facebook posts and in the FB Group and Instagram posts. Increasing engagement ensures that the content gets seem by more teachers. Also, talk to other teachers or comment online about why you love the original SpanishPlans bracket.
  
• Bookmark the 2025 Homepage for all your MMM needs.
  
• Get ready to collaborate. We would love your help in creating any materials. Drop them in the shared Google Drive or reach out if you have any resources that you would be willing to make.
