If you happen to be at school over the next couple of months, you may hear questions such as the above being asked of Newcastle’s 4th and 5th graders. Soon, 4th and 5th graders at Newcastle Elementary will have the exciting opportunity to share their geographic knowledge as they compete in the 2012 National Geographic Bee challenge! Finalists for our school bee (to be held in early January at a morning assembly) will be determined through individual classroom bees in November and
December.
The Geography Bee is a great chance for students to have fun together while learning more about the world that we live in! If you’d like to test your geography know how, check out the National Geographic website at: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/geobee/
where you will find many additional resources (including geography quiz apps for your phone, etc.) and tips for success! Stay tuned for more Geography Bee updates to follow! (Answer to the above: Europe)
