Geography Bee


On Thursday, January 12, fifteen Grainwood fourth and fifth graders participated in our annual Geography Bee. There were seven rounds of questions and each participant was asked one question in each of the seven rounds of competition (much like a spelling bee). Questions ranged from choosing between United State's cities and states, to providing answers related to continents and other countries. Congratulations go out to fifth grader Chase for winning the competition. Chase will now take a written test and the 100 top scorers (open to grades 4-8) in the state will advance to a state competition later this year. We wish him the best!
