lisamoeSo Jesse got back from the practice Geography Bee tonight in a very good mood. There were 20 kids in the Bee, from 4th grade to 8th grade and he came in third. He was only behind a brother and sister in the 8th and 7th grades whose mom organizes the Bees so they've been in it every year and have all the study guides and everything. Jesse, who is just in 4th grade, only found out he was going to it yesterday afternoon so has had no time to study and still came in third. I am very very proud of him, and of my Mom who is obviously an excellent homeschool teacher. :-)
The actual Geography Bee is on December 8th and he's really looking forward to that. We have some practice questions now to work on, and I'm going to start going over some world geography in the evenings with him until then. Plus I downloaded Google Maps for Palm OS to my Treo today so he can use it in the car to look things up.
