Madison won her class spelling bee, moving her onto the finals. They were held at school on Wednesday, so we went to watch. My dad even came over to see her in action.
The finalists, all setup in the media center
Madison made it through round after round after round. In fact, they said it was the first time they had ever run out of words from the original lists. They slowly eliminated people until they started picking some pretty hard words. Then, all the kids seemed to fall quickly.
Madison came in third! She really wanted to win, but she got out in the second to last round on feeble. She was thinking it was feable. That was after spelling words like compassionate and my favorite, the first word of the first round, brother. I knew she DEFINITELY would get that one right! Way to go, kiddo!!
Madison with Grandpa-Thanks for coming to see her, Grandpa! He had never visited the school and liked it as much as I do. As a retired teacher, he said it would have been a great place to teach.
