CONGRATULATIONS SUMDOG TEAMS!
Congratulations to both school Sumdog math teams! They earned top scores in the Eastern Iowa Sumdog Math contest. In this competition, the students had to answer 1000 math questions at their level within one week. Generally the work was done outside of school and it took hours of concentration by the participants! The students were assessed on their accuracy and their fluency. The fourth grade team earned FIRST PLACE and the third grade team earned SECOND PLACE out of 37 teams!
Members of the fourth grade team are: Cooper Beasinger, Elliot Boonstra, Noah Carney, Bobby Evers, Ayden Gendreau, Thelma Henriksen, Chase Kennedy, Chase Peterson, Josie Srp, and Starla Starbuck.
Members of the third grade team are: Ben Burken, Grace Dorsey, Jenna Dunlap, Drew Graves, Kaleb Lehmkuhl, Emma Ricklefs, Vinnie Srp, Keagan Starbuck, Olivia Steines, and Cailee Sullivan.
There were 773 students in the contest. Camanche Elementary School had 7 students who earned a top 10 score. Those students were:
Bobby Evers – 1st Place
Josie Srp – 3rd Place
Grace Dorsey – 4th Place
Olivia Steines – 5th Place
Cooper Beasinger – 7th Place
Jenna Dunlap – 8th Place
Elliot Boonstra – 9th Place
