Last Wednesday was the Elementary School spelling bee, Abby, my fourth grader was representing her classroom. Secretly I was hoping she wouldn’t be the first one to spell a word incorrectly, so after a fellow student heard the bell and was disqualified I breathed a sigh of relief – seventeen students later… Abby and another girl (a sixth grader) were left standing! It was pretty exciting – not gonna lie. The two went back and forth for a few words, then Abby was given the word elite…Abby’s reply, “elite, a l i t e”. Oh, so close – but what a good sport she was – 2nd place is still pretty cool!
Way to go Abby!
