I am so Proud!
Well, today Cole was recognized in Chapel for his participation in the Math Olympics! He got a second place ribbon and a medal too! Carl and his mom went to see him and got these photos. Cole is definitely his Dad's son. Not like me, that is for sure! I am a math dope. I can't figure my way out of a paper bag! Kaleigh, unfortunately, is more like me when it comes to math. Good thing is she is very talented in other areas! But today was Cole's crowning moment and I am very proud! He took numerous tests that had to do with reasoning type math rather than the comprehensive type math. Don't ask what that means, because all I know is that most of his problems were word problems which is the worst possible math outside of algebra to me! So, they had about 29 kids in the 3rd and 4th grades that participated. 18 got ribbons and only 4 got medals! Cole was one of the medal winners! I think Carl said that out of all the questions, he got an 85% or more and that got him second place! So YAY Cole! He will get a small lego set for his effort!

Go Cole!! That's awesome!! Congratulations!!!
Carl said the Computation (not comprehension) is easier than the reasoning part so Cole did especially well in the harder type!
He got a space police lego!
