March Madness? How about Math Madness!
All classrooms were invited to participate in a "Math Facts Tournament". Students competed against their classmates and then were placed into their classroom’s bracket. From that bracket, students played against other grade level classrooms in a math face-off where they quickly solved math problems presented to them with a flash card. Students were eliminated until there was a champion for each grade level! Congratulations to this year’s Math Champions:
- Easton, 1st Grade
- Bentley, 2nd Grade
- Benny, 3rd Grade
- Luke, 4th Grade
- Caleb, 5th Grade
Champions received a prize and school-wide recognition. Great job, students!
