Kyra's First Spelling Bee

Last month Kyra participated in her first spelling bee! I was so proud of her because this was something she decided to do all on her own! We practiced hard on the lists of 1st-6th grade words. When the day of the spelling bee came, she drew the #2 spot and sat in the first row. When her turn came, she walked up on stage in front of about 100 people and spelled her word into the microphone. I was sooo proud of her, because she never would have atempted this a couple years ago. She didn't win, but she made it 4 rounds- from 35 to 8 kids. The best part is that she had fun, got her face painted afterward, received a $10 certificate to Bookmans, and had delicious snacks. :o) The first thing she said to me in the car was, "When are they having the "honey bee" next year??"
