Today was the First Grade Spelling Bee. It was very exciting.. In our class, Leah, Vladimir and Miriam V. were our spelling bee contestants. At lunch Leah got a HUGE bump on her head and almost did not get to compete. She was able to stay and hid her bump with her bangs. There was a "spell-off" for fourth place since three students were eliminated in the same round. Finally we had a fourth place "winner" and were able to spell for the top three spots. Our spellers Miriam and Vladimir came in second and third place. We are so proud of them!!!
