Guest Blogger: Zoe!

A note from Joey first...
Zoe has joined the math team at school. She wasn't going to join the team, but her math teacher (who is in charge of the math team) really wanted her to join, so she did. Zoe brought home the permission slip and notice on Tuesday and she had her first meet today at her school. Around 30 6th graders are on the math team and the eight 6th graders that were picked to compete in the math meets (including Zoe) had the highest NWEA scores. Yay, Zoe! So, here is a note from Zoe about her first meet today. She was very nervous about competing, but she did it and I think she even enjoyed it. :-)

A note from Zoe...
Today was our first math meet. There were about 24 schools competing ( we weren't all together.) Maddie, Jocelyn, Mike and me were in a team. We were one of the two 6th grade teams. There were two 7th grade teams and one 8th grade team. We were team one. Mike was the captain, and I was the proofreader ( the person who makes sure everyone has the same answers)
there were 8 questions and we had 24 minutes. It went by so fast! Afterward we had desserts. I had peanut butter pie. We have math practice every Wednesday at lunch time.

Way to go Zoe! You are great at everything!!

I love all of the pictures on the post before this too - that sticker pumpkin face plan is brilliant! I will have to remember that. I love all the costumes and the pinata looks fun - it is always hard to time those right (ideally so they break eventually, but everyone gets a turn first!) You guys are always up to something fun.
