Spelling Bee Champion
My son Antonio won the grade 1–3 spelling bee at his school today! We’re very proud of him. He’s in 2nd grade. The runner up missed “success” and Antonio had to spell that correctly before spelling the winning word, “forget”.
Each student is given a word picked from a list appropriate for their grade. This is how they can get all the grades to compete in a single event.
He came in second place last year and was determined to win this year. As part of that determination, he would write spelling lists and practice them by himself for fun. He did this the whole school year.
To get into this competition of about 13 kids for grades 1–3, he won two-days of preliminary rounds in his class.
Congratulations Antonio!
