Our daughter recently participated in the third grade spelling bee at her school. She did a great job!
The principal explained all the rules and procedures.
Our daughter made it through 8 or 9 rounds and missed the final round by one word: renew, which she spelled r-e-k-n-e-w. Afterwards she came up to me and said, "it's r-e-n-e-w isn't it, Mom?" She really wanted to win the trophy (she is a trophy girl) which was awarded to the first place speller,
but she was happy to get a medal and certificate for placing third. I think she may be a little more motivated next year to actually study the list of words that they give to all the students...I guess we will see.
