Annual NSIS Geography Bee
After Winter Break, students will participate in a classroom geography bee during social studies class. Students will complete seven preliminary rounds in the classroom. These questions will focus on US/World geography and culture. The preliminary rounds will be held on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Students will earn one point for each correct answer, and the one student who has the most points will qualify as the classroom's geography bee representative. On January 11th, every fifth and sixth grade homeroom representative will compete in the school's annual Geography Bee. Visit this link for more information or sample questions:
