During parent-teacher conference a month or so ago, I expressed to Weston's teachers that I would like for him to be challenged in some subjects.... So we talked about spelling bee. Well, the week of Thanksgiving, before the break, he brought home the list of words that 3rd and 4th graders would have to study to participate. 50 words for 3rd and 50 words for 4th grade. I decided to not focus on that detail, but help him practice all 100 words.... So everyday, morning or night, eating dinner or brushing teeth or waiting for the bus, we practice the words, with flashcards or reading them off the sheet....
Today, he had his spelling bee....and guess what?! He is the winner of 3rd grade!!!!!! I am sooooooo proud of him and pleased with his courage to do it(since other friends backed out at the last minute) and so pleased with his daily effort!
He expressed that the teachers were very proud of him, and that he thought that if he backed out, that I would be sad and all our practice would go to waste.... Such a good boy!
He called daddy on the phone to tell him and daddy told him he is very proud of him....
Now, 200 words to practice for next spelling bee! Wish us luck!
