December 10: Another new experience for our big girl. She made it into the school spelling bee which apparently all 5th graders were required to test for. Only 20 students were in the Bee however and Lily made it all the way to the the final 7. One of her best school friends went on to win and will go to the citywide spelling bee.
I always enjoyed spelling bees!
Congratulations to Lily! The love of reading is a benefit to spelling well!
