The kids participated in our home school association's annual Spelling Bee last week. I certainly want my children to be proficient spellers, but I have to admit that we are in no way a Scripps family. I just don't have it in me to drill them on spelling words every day. We get sidetracked looking at frogs and researching galciers and collecting rocks and writing couplets... and the spelling quizzes invariably get pushed aside.
In spite of my lack of dedication to a spelling curriculum, they represented our family well. The two five-year-olds even took 1st and 2nd places in the Kindergarten group. They all did a great job and had a fun time being with their friends. Best of all, every participant went home with a fist full of coupons for treats from local businesses!
