Sam participated in the spelling bee today. A pre-test determined the top two spellers from each class and he made the cut. He did great today!

Sam made it to the third round before messing up. He correctly spelled “chunks” and “waist” before erring with “bossiness.” We laughed it off together because he said this was the same word he missed on the pre-test in the same way: with a y in place of the i.

Boy, I hate the spelling bee. So much anxiety, so much emotion! I was glad I didn’t have to stay to the end, and extra happy that Sam had a good attitude about it! He genuinely only wanted to do it for fun and was happy with his participation ribbon. He’s a total champ to me!

His ribbon & balloon for the Bee, and sunglasses & glow-stick bracelet for picking up the most trash after class.
“I look awesome!”
