St. Francis/Holy Ghost Catholic School students, first through fourth grades, who participated in a National Sumdog Competition, last week.
This past week, the first through fourth grade students at St. Francis/Holy Ghost Catholic School (SFHG), Jerseyville, participated in a National Sumdog question competition. There were 22,158 student participants from all over the country.
Sumdog questions are embedded into games, with different games for different learning styles – racing games, cooking games, flying games. Sumdog is all about personalizing the experience for each child. The questions adapt to meet the student where they are, while letting them play. The students play the games with friends, a robot, or kids from across the world. SFHG students fared exceptionally well, while some tested in the top percent of the national competition.
The following are the SFHG students who scored first, second, and third in their class, and in the top 10 percent nationally:
