Turbo Math GRAND CHAMPION!


This week Harrison won his final turbo math ribbon at school. Since we moved here at the start of the new year, he had some catching up to do. He started with addition. I think the way it works is the teacher gives the kids a math worksheet and they have a set amount of (short) time to answer as many problems as they can correctly. You have to earn two ribbons in each category before moving on to the next. He flew through addition and subtraction within the first 2 weeks he started school here. However, since his old school was just beginning multiplication, he needed to learn these skills before he could get his ribbons. If any one knows Harrison, you know that he does NOT like to be behind in anything! He was a bit frustrated at first, but he caught on so quickly. He now has all of his ribbons, including the big yellow Grand Champion ribbon! We are so proud of him and he is just as proud of himself! He is even ahead of some of the kids in his class who have yet to obtain their final ribbons. Great job Harrison!
