I've always been a good speller. Well, it looks like it's passed onto Connor. He took a written test before Christmas and then got all 10 (residue, thought, fallacy, cabbage, diagonal, hysterical, suburban, parable, vestige, labyrinth) words correct in the oral competition. He tied with a fourth grader, so there had to be a tie breaker. His tie breaker words were piano, missile, whetstone, evaluate, gurney, dimension, calibrate, supplement, panacea, benevolent, ominous, incorruptible (x), carafe (x), entourage (x), stethoscope, chassis (x), liverwurst. Connor ended up winning with "bratwurst". What a fitting ending! We are so proud. Connor now moves onto Eastern (Duluth) Sectionals with other surrounding elementary school fifth graders and sixth graders (I think). It's next Thursday at his school. We'll be studying hard!
