Today was the second grade Spelling Bee. It was optional to participate, but many of the students did. They did a great job! I thought it was going to go on forever. Maelle was doing very well. She got "their" and "different," but she was eliminated in the sixth round. The word was "don't." She spelled it d-o-n-t. I could tell she was confused, and then the judges ruled that was incorrect. I knew she'd be sad, but also to leave her alone. She came over to me about 20 minutes later and whispered, "I didn't know you were supposed to say the apostrophe." Live and learn, I guess. I am just so proud of her and everyone else for participating.
