Spelling Bee

Andrew was privileged to have been chosen to compete in the school spelling bee last week. Only one kid from each class (3rd through 6th) was picked.

He did really well and made it through the 4th round. (The finals started in the 6th round) He was also proud of himself because the last word that he spelled correctly , "calories", was off the sixth grade list and it wasn't one that we had studied. He was beaming after that. He went out on a 7th grade word "immature". He was happy with how he did though because he stayed in longer than most of the other 3rd graders and some 4th graders. (As a mom I just didn't want him to be the first to go!) I think it was a great experience for him.

We are so proud of you Andrew!!
