Students in fine form at Math Bee

Today was the Math Bee! After the first Bee with the Kinders, I had the pleasure of walking them back to their classrooms and they were so excited and happy. “I loved it!” and “My mom is going to be so proud of me!” were a couple of the enthusiastic comments made. Soooo cute. But I wouldn’t doubt that those sediments rang true for most Math Bee participants. The students came into the chapel with much anticipation, and happy to be able to participate and show their math skills they’ve work so hard on this year.

In the lists below, you'll notice that some of the students of earlier Bees decided to stay and challenge themselves by taking the tests of the older students. There's enthusiasm for you! And they did so well too. 

The tallied scores took into consideration two factors: how much time it took the student to finish and the accuracy of their answers.

And now without further delay, here's the news you've been waiting for! The results and standings of our very first Math Bee:
