Wordmasters students

 

Two students representing Mosaic Elementary School recently received a perfect score in the last of three meets in the 2023-2024 WordMasters Challenge™—a national vocabulary competition involving nearly 125,000 students annually.

Competing in the very difficult Gold Division of the WordMasters Challenge™, fourth grader Vincenzo Strazzeri and sixth grader Sunny Daddio each earned a perfect score of 20 on the recent challenge. Nationally, only 125 fourth graders and 26 sixth graders achieved this result. Other students from Mosaic Elementary School who achieved outstanding results in the meet include fourth graders Graham Deal, Anay Shah and Gavin Wang, and sixth graders Ridheema Dusange, Aaron Erdman, Olivia Gao, Seneca Johnson and Justin Lee.  In preparation for the WordMasters Challenge™ the fourth grade students were coached by Mr. Keating, Ms. Furr, and Ms. Piermatteo.  The sixth grade students were coached by Mr. White.

🧩Summer Puzzle Hunt

Coming this summer: Fairfax County Public Schools Puzzle Hunt, a unique community event that will take you on a journey to the wonderful parks in Fairfax County. Starting on June 15, solve one puzzle or do them all! Puzzles are filled with creative thinking, logic, and wordplay. They are designed to be challenging and accessible for all skill levels. Summer activities like these help students retain knowledge, prevent learning loss, stay academically engaged, build new skills, and get a good start to the upcoming school year. Solve the puzzles and then find clues at the parks for a final meta-puzzle. Walk, bike, and roll at our wonderful local parks with friends and family. You can learn more by going to www.solvingfun.com/fairfax
