Spelling Bee

Ben was in the spelling bee again this year. I thought this might be his year but he was down to like the final 5, and he did great. They give you a copy of all the words, so kids have the option to study. Ben never does.  So, the fact that he makes it so far is pretty impressive.

 

This was the beginning with 65 kids.   

 

Ben's words were 

once

crooked

correctional

chimpanzee

This was the kid before him that got out.  Ben missed the last e in chimpanzee.  

He did great though and we are always super proud of him.
