We Have a Winner

Yesterday, our local homeschool group had their spelling bee, for which I’m the coordinator.  We have two bees, one for grades 1-4 and another for grades 5-8.

I’m pleased to announce that my own dear Serenity won 2nd place for Grades 1-4.

I’m so proud of my little girl and all the kids who participated.  It’s hard to get up in front of everybody and take a chance that you’ll spell a word wrong.  There were kids there who probably can spell fairly well but was out on the first word.  Nerves can do those kind of things to you.

Serenity is pretty quiet but yet she was brave enough to take a chance and was rewarded.  What I admire and appreciate the most is that she was willing to try.

Good job, sweetheart!

I’ll be getting to those posts about how our family implements Charlotte Mason’s ideas – probably next week.  I know you just can’t wait.
