Mason won the school spelling bee today! It was pretty awesome. He has been studying hard and it definitely paid off. He competed against the top two 4-6th graders from each class at his school. I wasn't expecting him to win because he was only a 4th grader, but he did awesome! The second place finisher was Mason's good friend from 4th grade as well. It was fun to watch him participate. He was listening to the other kids spell the words and if they misspelled it, I could see him shake his head slightly indicating they were wrong. He was covering his face to hide his smile knowing another kid was out. Of all the words that the other kids misspelled, I knew Mason knew how to correctly spell them. He prepared so hard for this. He was definitely the best speller up there. He won correctly spelling the word "appositive" (whatever that means). As soon as she told him the word, I knew he would get it. I'm so excited for him!
