Spelling Bee

Kaitlyn decided she wanted to participate in the school spelling bee. We printed off the words and worked on them for about a week. She beat out the kids in her class, then she beat the other 1st graders. So she went to the school-wide spelling bee, where she was competing against kids all the way up to the 8th grade! I meant to have her start practicing much earlier, but I totally forgot. She wasn't as well prepared as she could have been. She got out on her second word, but still got 1st place for the 1st grade..
Next year we will have to study sooner!
