School Spelling Bee

Every year our elementary school hosts a spelling bee for 4th and 5th grade teams to enter. This year, they had an all-time high of 18 teams competing for the spelling title.
Erase from your minds your previous conceptions of spelling bees. This one is very entertaining and funny. Each team writes their words on white boards, so they are all competing concurrently in different rounds. The emcee keeps things lively with sentences for the words that poke fun of all of the teachers and administrators at our school.

These winners won gift certificates to toy stores, book stores, and frozen yogurt stores.

One last view of our 4 guys and their long list of words! They worked really hard, dividing up the list and each memorizing 3-4 pages of words. We were so proud and happy! Kudos to Logan and teammates.

How cool! What a fun spelling bee. Logan did a good job spelling that winning word! I liked that all the other kids came and gave hi fives after.
