Today was the last day of school for Joshua... and this morning was the awards assembly.
I am thrilled beyond belief to tell you all that I am the proud mommy of the WINNER of the 3rd Grade Math Pentathlon!!!!!
The Pentathlon is a series of 5 sets of math tests - 8 questions each, spread out over a several month time period. The 3rd and 4th graders compete together, and the 5th & 6th grades compete together. The problems are
very difficult and many of the kiddos opt out of participation once they see the first set of questions. We have 37 elementary schools in our district - and Joshua also won a medal for scoring in the
Top 20% of the district!!!
Joshua was also awarded a Gold Seal and Certificate from The University of Kansas Reading Program - and his teacher gave him several awards... for excellence in Math, excellence in reading, reaching his accelerated reader goals, and excellent cursive writing.
I am just BEAMING over here!!!!!
