Spell Bowl

What a great evening we had with Isaiah. As I posted in this blog post, Isaiah tried out for the spell bowl team and made it. The competition was last night. Our school did not place in the top 3 spots in our division, but we were very proud of them and especially of Isaiah. The way Spell Bowl works, is each child on the team gets a turn to sit on stage. They are given 7 words to spell. Their proctor checks each word and the child raises his hand when they spell the word correct. Each correct word is worth a point for the team. Isaiah spelled 4 out of his 7 words correct, earning 4 points for his team. Here are a few photos of the evening.

Isaiah's turn on stage. He's looking over his shoulder either at us or the team.
Raising his hand with a correct spelling. Good job!Competition over, and a big smile! We're so proud of you Isaiah!!

Isaiah,
Great job! Some of the words surprised me...hide-in-seek, stiletto heels, gnat. Just to name a few. Very interesting to say the least. What a great accomplishment. Does your school participate in the Math Bowl competitions?

Lori, not sure about math bowl. Isaiah's first word was stiletto heels and he got it right!
