Today we had Mr. DeJohn Annual Spelling Bee. Each year I take a list of all the review chapters and combine that into one humongous spelling bee! Kids received a list of 90 words on Monday. They have learned every word on the list and used this week to sharpen up on a few that still game them trouble--that was T R O U B L E.
Here is what we had left after round 3! The saddened young people at their chairs were the round one and two casualities. Most of the kids missing their words by only a letter. I tried to lessen their tramas by explaining that I too was a casuality of a spelling bee. It was me and this kid Kevin and my word was BOLOGNA. Yes I lost on the word BOLOGNA. Call it nerves or call it for what it was...bologna! To this day I can't go to the deli at Wegmans without shaking my fist at the bologna sign. Ask you child what word kicked them out of this competition. (Mr. DeJohn cannot be held responsible for any tramas, bills for psychologists or night sweats. Parents, remember the forms you signed at the beginning of the year).
Here are our champions!! Third place RV! Second place AV! and First place SG! Each kiddo won a super cool prize and for SG--You have won the title of Mr. DeJohn's Annual Spelling Bee Champion! Congratulations!!!
