Last month, Connor was chosen, along with two other classmates, to represent his class in the 3rd grade spelling bee. He would only study from time to time, so we really didn't think he would do very well. I just kept hoping he'd make it past the first round.
Well, he surprised us and made us SUPER proud by WINNING the spelling bee. First place!!!!
First, second and third place
All of the 3rd grade participants.
For dinner, we went to Outback and treated him to a steak and a chocolate thunder from down under!!
He then went on the compete in the school wide spelling be with 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. Unfortunately, he went out in round 4 or 5 by mispelling 'clause.' With it being Christmas time, he was used to seeing Santa Claus, thus, spelling it without the 'e'. Nonetheless, we were still incredibly proud of this kid. He also made the 3rd grade UIL spelling team, where he will be competing with other kids in the district next month (but has yet to study!!)
