They were timed, with either 5, 10 or 15 minutes to complete each set of questions. He walked away with 7th team place out of 30. Not bad. It lasted from 8 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. I'll let pictures tell the story. I guess took more than I thought!
They got some GIANT shirts to wear. I don't think any of the 5th graders came close to filling them out.
The whole scene - all of the participants.

ReplyDeleteWay to go, James! You must be a glowing proud mama. I need to drink the water you drank while pregnant.
