Kaylee wanted to participate in the math matters competition, which is an outside of school event. There are about 300 5th and 6th graders that participate in taking a test and there are 10 winners. I was very proud of her for trying, as I said this is an outside of school event on a saturday morning, and there is no credit given from the school. She was very excited and felt good about her test. When all was said and done she placed 221. Now before you feel bad for that number let me tell you about the 1st place winner, she scored 85% and was 1st place (Does that explain the difficulty of the test?) What matters the most is that Kaylee enjoyed herself, and learned a little bit about competition. I rewarded her with Noodles and compant for lunch after, and Bradlee tagged along for the event, so he also was rewarded with lunch.
