Our Z participated in the Spelling Bee at our charter school last Friday. He studied 500 words (VERY HARD WORDS) for the last month or so. I was so very proud of his diligence in getting the words under his belt. He was told that they would send the top two students from his level on to the County Spelling Bee. He told me that his goal was to get at least 5th. Well...he didn't have to worry about it because he was the only one that showed up! He was awarded first place and will go on to the County Spelling Bee in April! He was SO excited. The facilitator had him spell words for her until he missed one. She was very impressed with how well he did and told him that he would go far. :) So...we go back to studying the dreaded list next week to prepare for the next step in Z's Fourth Grade Spelling Bee quest.
