This year Drew took first place in his class in the spelling bee! With that he was invited to compete in the spelling bee for the whole 2nd grade! They took just the winners and runner ups from each class. It was quite the accomplishment for him!!
He looked so cute up there spelling his words!
I wish I could remember what words he had to spell!
Tays couldn't care less! He goal was to make as much noise as possible!
Smarty pants!
So it was down to the final three kids and the girl that went before him spelled her word wrong. Then Drew was given the word 'dollar'. He got flustered and said, "d-a...d-o-l-l-a-r". The rules are that you can start over but you can't change any letters. So unfortunately, he missed that word. The girl after Drew spelled her word correctly and was the automatic winner.
Since the girl before him missed her word, as did he, they had to have a spell off to see who would take 2nd place. She was given a word and sadly, she missed it. They gave that same word to Drew and he spelled it correctly!! Drew took 2nd place for the whole 2nd grade! I am sad he flubbed on dollar, but seriously, the pressure these kids were under was crazy. I know that I would NEVER had been able to do it as well as they all did!! It was sad to see the disappointment and the tears.
