Today Mason participated in the State Geography bee. What another fun experience! This was organized in a different way than the spelling bee. There were 100 kids from grades 4th-8th. They were divided into groups of 20 where they went through 8 rounds and earned points for correct answers. The top 10 kids from all 100 went on to the final. Mason got 4 answers correct in the 8 rounds. Not too bad. That score was right in the middle of the group. The questions were incredibly hard. I don't even know how these kids study for it. A lot of it is through experience at school and remembering what your teachers tell you and also paying attention to current events. The questions cover so much information! Mason did a great job and should be very proud of this accomplishment. Plus, he got a free tshirt!
