Spelling Bee

So Elijah was chosen as one of THREE 3rd graders to attend the county spelling bee. All schools from the county of Pulaski were there.
Elijah is the one with his arms crossed infront of him. As you can tell by the picture that there aren't many schools in the county. None the less its an honor to be chosen as one of the top three from 3rd grade for the spelling bee. He practiced every night and he went through all 6 pages of words. He put alot of hard work into memorizing these words and how to spell them.

One of his judges was his very own teacher at west central...Mrs. Leman. (on the very end in green). Here is Elijah spelling oen of his last few words. It came down to him and one other girl from Winamac. Back and forth they went, until Elijah misspelled the word embarrassment. The words are drawn from a hat and whatever word is pulled is the word you must spell. His first word was Onomotopeia and he did it with ease cause he practiced that word alot!!


Here are the top three winners. Elijah ended the day with Second Place!!! Well done my boy!! Mom and Dad are very proud of you and all you accomplished.
