bzzzzz…..

Hear that? It’s the sound of the school spelling bee.

While Patrick didn’t make it in to the final 9 (3 kids from each of the 5th grade classes. And there will be a whole post on Patrick and his woes of late coming soon), Jack did and finished the bee in 4th place. He was seriously dissapointed in what he felt was his lackluster performance, but I was pretty proud anyway. His killer word was monopolize and he missed a few letters but told me after that he didn’t like everyone staring at him and it made him nervous and unfocused.

The boy who won is in the black shirt and shorts. He’s going to the Nassau Co semi finals. Very exciting!! Go S!

I think all the bee-ers did an outstanding job. And Jack can now spell adjudicate, cajolery, omniscient, and aggrandize with the best of them (and I can too, after studying with him!).
