Sixth Grade Sedulous Scholars: Forensics Fury!

Our feet are in pain after walking/running so many miles last night, but we can all breathe a little bit easier now that we've been through our first Forensics Tournament together! The scholars worked extremely hard last evening to use all they have learned over the past couple months, and I am very proud of their overall performance. We filled our building with "speechies" and made new friends from area schools. The whole evening could be termed "priceless" in the life of a child and their mental/emotional/educational growth. Thank you parents for your incredible support in taking care of our judges and coaches. The complements from the other teams were overwhelming. They all want to return to GFA and enjoy another well run debate....we'll be inviting them back in the spring...can we build an addition by then??? lol..... Many of the rounds were extremely close and came down to numbers of excellence on the ballots and minutes of time spoken. GREAT JOB SCHOLARS! YOU ROCK!!!
Here are the final Tabs....

Enjoy the photos from the evening. We will be recuperating in the suite this morning and attempting to distribute the many crockpots that I left there last night. If you have one at school, please claim it as I will not be back until the 29th. The final photo you will see today is my reason for taking a much needed break!
I am moving the History test to Monday, and the Science Test to Tuesday. Scholars will have a math test on Unit 6 while I am away, but that will be determined by my sub, Mrs. Cardinal.
