Sixth grader ties for 3rd in spelling bee
We've been following Madeline Phuong as she has spelled her way from the sixth grade bee to become champion of the Middle School to victorious at the Allen County Bee. Last weekend Madeline represented both Allen County and Canterbury School. She spelled her way to a third place finish (four-way tie) in the Regional Bee. Madeline has set a new school record in being the first student from Canterbury to make it this far in the spelling bee competitions.
Kindergartners study spatial reasoning
Kindergarten students have been exploring spatial reasoning during Math Enrichment class. "Research has shown a strong correlation between a student's spatial reasoning and their future math abilities," said Kelly Madarang, math specialist. "Spatial ability is strongly linked to success in areas of science, technology, engineering and art." There are endless possibilities for careers that involve spatial reasoning skills including architect, physicist, engineer, designer, artist, pilot and photographer, just to name a few.
