Spelling Bee!

Slade is one of the top spellers in his grade.   They had to take a test and he scored a 100!  His teacher told me that he was the only one out of his two classes to make a perfect score!  Since he did so well, he was chosen to participate in the spelling bee for Stuard Elementary.  We studied a 2 page long list of words, and we were amazed at how well he did.  Billy and I are not spellers at all.  

The day of the Spelling Bee finally came, and Billy took him to get a new outfit to wear.  He got a new pair of blue jeans and converse shoes.  He looked sharp!

We were so nervous!  I just did not want him to get out on the first round.  The first round came and he spelled his word! The second round he made it! His word was paint.  Third round he spelled varsity correctly.  Fourth round he spelled cavalcade correctly.  The fifth round his word was perpetrator and he spelled it perpAtrator.  He got out. But, he was the 5th person left.  We are so proud of him!!!
