World Almania 2009

Stormi Pitman, captain, along with teammates Kinsey Rankin and Calvin Downs claimed the 5th Grade World Almania championship title today. Representing Mrs. Zellner's class, they came from behind by correctly answering the Ultimania question in the final round of the tournament. Elizabeth Clardy, Diana Ridley, and Mitchell Lewis - representing Mrs. Hodges' class - won second place, followed very closely by the third place team (Mrs. Smith's class) of Bailey Martin, Natalie Ledbetter, and Byron Bruce. These three teams had previously won their class titles in order to advance to the finals. All 5th grade students were winners in learning how to use an almanac to find information and answer questions as we worked through our almanac unit over the past few weeks. We all had a lot of fun and learned a lot! Pictures will follow soon.
