Our school district had a math compitition on Sat. There are 5 schools in our district. Each classroom sent one top student to compete. Mrs. Bishop chose Jayden to represent her 2nd grade class. Here is a picture of Mrs. Bishop and Jayden.
Jayden was VERY nervous when we arrived. She was shaking when we entered the room where the 2nd graders would compete. She would compete against 15 others. Here she is looking at the clock waiting for the fun to begin.
They had to sit in chairs facing away from the screen. When it was their turn they would stand and face the screen and have 6 seconds to solve the problem. If they got it wrong they were out. During the final 3 they were all too smart. It went on forever, so they decided to make it harder. I was nervous because we did not practice 3 digit subtractions. No need to be nervous though because Jayden pulled it out and won!!!
Her teacher was so excited that she ran up and gave her a big hug! She said,"Jayden this means that you are the smartest 2nd grader in the whole school district!" Then her teacher had to parade her around and show off her #1 student to all of her teacher friends.
We were there for several hours. Jaydens compitition was the first one. They had a bunch of fun activities the kids could do after their compitition. There was a room with lots of jars full of different items. Each jar had a math problem you had to solve or guess, and if you did you would win the jar! Here she is figuring out how many calories would be in this jar full of Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.
Relaxing the brain.
Jayden and Mom waiting for the awards ceremony to begin.
Receiving her ribbon and trophy.
To top off the whole day, she even won the jar full of beaded necklaces. She guessed how many meters it would be if you connected all of them together! The sisters at home were so excited!
Jayden is such a smart girl! We are so proud of her. She LOVES to learn and LOVES to do her work! Everyone of her teachers that she has had, have told us she is a favorite! What a compliment! Keep up the good work Jaydo, we love you!!
