I went to a spelling bee. Everybody had fun watching me and I had fun in the spelling bee. I spelled mop, M-O-P. I spelled hat. And I spelled dad.
It was really hard to wait for my turn because I like spelling words. There were two kids who talked a little bit loud.
I won first place and I got a certificate and a coupon to Pizza Hut and M&Ms. I ate the M&Ms right after the spelling bee.
Maggie and Nini came.
Thirteen Grand Rapids area homeschoolers participated in the kindergarten spelling bee. They were all so very cute and all improved a great deal since the practice in November. They were given a list of 120 three- and four-letter words to study, ranging in difficulty from CAT to PUMP. After each round, any child who misspelled two words got a round of applause, certificate and prizes, then sat down. They didn't do a spell-down to the end as they would with older kids. Addy was one of five of the 13 who made no spelling mistakes, so they each received first-place stickers on their certificates.

Addy,
I was so proud of you! You did such a good job. You worked so hard ahead of time practicing your spelling words, and your hard work paid off by not missing any words at all!
I enjoyed telling Great Grandma Battel about your special day. She is a very good speller too. I hope next time you see her you will ask her how to spell some hard words and see if she knows how to spell them!
Love,
Aunt Maggie
