I’m almost out the door to the CanSpell Regional Spelling Bee. Should be fun.
UPDATE: It was totally fun. The spellers were 11 years old. I arrived at the start of the final round. There were 10 spellers remaining: 3 boys and 7 girls. Hailey was up first. Speller #7. I thought she sounded like a smarty-pants (in the best possible way) and she did go on to win the championship. The winner took home $3000. Second place was $2000 and went to Rebeccah, who seemed to be a crowd favourite in my section.
I wish I’d taken my notepad to record some of the words.
