Meg competed in the county spelling bee this evening and did well. She made it through the sixth round, but the word "navary" knocked her out as she put an e in for the second a. I had never even heard of the word and did not remember practicing that one with her. She was disappointed, but Doug said she did well. They both agreed that the runner-up was given a slew of easy words starting with "totem."
I am proud of her. It takes a lot of work to win two school spelling bees in a row. I know she worked hard to make it to the county once again. It never mattered to me how she finished. Meg's high work ethic in regards to academics is apparent and that skill will take her far in life. That's all we could ever ask for.
