Gabe and Selah participated in the Homeschool Spelling Bee again this year. This is their third year in the contest and they do better every year!
Selah correctly spelled nice, paste, welcome, cheddar, crooked, slobbery, tonic, infraction, vegetation, and barrette. Her final word in the 9th round was paralysis. (Which she spelled pralisis.)
Gabe correctly spelled skim, clasp, platform, clipper, superb, receptions, sparsely, administration, callous, and conspiracy. Gabe also made it to the 9th round. His final word was incessant. He "incessantly" stalled before spelling this word by asking for the definition, then a sentence, then the definition again followed by the sentence again, all the while scribbling on his forearm to visualize the spelling. He finally spelled it "incsennce".
I was so impressed by all the spellers! We had 15 in all and they were amazing. Some other words spelled included piece de resistance, entrepreneurs, and fluorescent. The winning word was conundrum.
Next year Gabe will age out of the competition...he is already studying for next year hoping that will be his year. Selah is hoping to bring home a trophy, too.
