This week the girls were in their first Spelling Bee at Dayspring. They were only given a week to practice their words, but we did practice a lot. Yesterday Amelia participated in the 1st grade bee and she was one of the last 4 standing! This means that she gets to advance to the Roanoke Valley Christian School Spelling Bee in Roanoke on March 1st.
From the first moment she saw the words, Emma said she wanted to win. Some of her words were really hard like elide, triumphal, and administrator. But, she ended up being one of the last 4 kids standing, so she will also get to go to Roanoke. The word that got her was "administrator". I guess we will be practicing spelling a lot over the next few weeks!
