So can I be a bragging mom? lol. My son had his school spelling bee today and in past years he was between 3rd and 6th place and the top two advance to regionals. Well they didn't have one last year because of pandemic restrictions, but this year I had inquired about it and helped them remember it to get one going :-) He just had the bee today and he won!!! I am so excited for him. He will go to regionals which will be super hard, but at least he gets to go for once.

At the end of the bee when there are only 2 left they go off of the list they study with random words they are given to use, so it gets much harder as they haven't even seen the words ahead of time. It was close with the last two, but he came through.

That's wonderful! Congratulations! I still remember winning the spelling bee in 6th grade, just for my school.

That’s great Alexa — way to go :). Your son is such a bright young man and awesome in so many ways. I remember when I was young, I wanted to be the national spelling bee so bad that I tried to study the dictionary from cover to cover (didn’t get very far needless to say) :lol:

Thanks everyone! Lol at the dictionary thing! It is kind of like that even at regionals because they get pages and pages of words to study so they can’t learn them all. And to close out the bees they go to words off the list like they did for the school one. So it is a game of luck at that point!
