Maysen competed in the Division Finals for the Reading Bowl today. I'm not sure how many divisions there are, we are in division one. This is the first time this competition has been added. An extra step to make it to state. Maysen's team practiced so hard! They were disappointed in the district finals when they lost to the 6th grade 'moustache' team, so they really wanted to win them. We played them first. Maysen's team won 70 - 20! Mike thought it would have been really funny to make moustache's for our team to wear . . . but it probably would have distracted us more then them!
Every team in our division was so good! Like you would expect. But, man was the competition tough! Maysen's team took 2nd place!!! They scored 30 points behind 1st place (3 questions). Only first place gets to move on, so our season is over. I am so proud of Maysen and how hard she worked. She read every book. Fifteen chapter books. I can't believe the facts she was able to recall out of them. Fantastic!
Maysen's excited that we get to 'babysit' the trophy over the weekend.
Stockton came to every one of Maysen's competitions. That is quite a commitment for a boy that has a hard time sitting still! I hope Stockton will try out for the Reading Bowl team next year. 4th graders can choose if they want to try out for the Picture Book team or the Chapter Book team. Chapter Book is the only team with the option of competing at other levels.
Good job, Maysen! We are so proud of you!
