Isaac tried out for the Geography Bee a few weeks ago and came home and told me that he was chosen to represent his school for this Bee. Up to now, I've never heard of a Geography Bee. As Isaac explained to me, it's a cross between a Spelling Bee, Math Olympics, and the Speech Meet... huh?!?!?
Tyler, Isaac, Noah, and Jaleen (the four 4th graders of FCS)
So today was the big day! Isaac was in a room with 15 other 4th graders in other Christian schools answering a series of 40 questions. These questions can be anything from geography (Biblical, US, World, etc.) to land forms (names of parts of the river or land formations) and other general information like weather or agriculture. The whole competition took about 2 1/2 hours. Isaac did great (much better than how his mother would have scored...)! He was disappointed not to have received a blue ribbon... but hey, I've always liked red better :)
Great job, Isaac! I'm proud of you for knowing so much about this world that God has created for us!!!
Receiving his red ribbon :)
