On May 2nd, J8 represented HES in the parish Math Bee. He was a little nervous that morning. But as he sat and watched the 3rd grade competition, he realized that he knew all of their math problems. Then he watched the 2nd graders compete and again realized that he could answer all of those math problems as well. So by the time the first graders were called to the stage, J8 was practically dancing out of his skin.
Sure enough, he got every problem correct on the stage. There were 5 students left, so they all went back to take a timed test. Whoever worked the most problems in 1 minute would be declared the winner. I wasn't sure how well J8 would really do on a timed test. I knew he would know the answers, but would he stop daydreaming, humming and tapping his pencil long enough to write them down?
Apparently so, for when the winners were announced, J8 was the first grade champion! I extremely proud of him, for when it comes to math, J8 is definitely not his mother's son.
