Friday was quite a day for the Professor's administration. it was the big day of the spelling bees. we had two, one for the younger kids and a second, larger one for the older kids. in neither case did my little cherubs disappoint. two younger students, from my Basic Reading class competed, and came in first and third place. they are pictured below. as you can see, Tina may be the cutest thing ever; she is standing fully erect on the same floor as King.
King and Tina took first and third place, respectively, in the first spelling bee on Friday, March 18. This is my Basic Reading class, clockwise from King: Ray, Albert, Leo, Nancy, Daniel, Moses and Tina.
later, my fifth grader Sherry finally prevailed in what became the longest spelling bee in school history. i had eight kids--six current, two former--in this one. after a tense final showdown with a smart third grader, Sherry was able to spell his word "excitement" when he just kind of fell apart on it. too bad for him, but it rounded out a great day in the life and times of the Professor.
