One terrific speller!


Andrew took 2nd place this year at his PSIA district competition! The most awesome part of the whole thing was his attitude and genuine excitement for all the other winners and the fact that his school, LSA, took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for 3rd grade spelling! So cool! The crazy thing was that his friend, Jackson, also missed 3 out of 40 words and spelled transoceanic correctly and Andrew added a hyphen in the word. He said, "Only one tiny punctuation mark separated 1st and 2nd place... I can't believe it!" There is some pretty tough competition out there! Now he wants to start reading the dictionary to prepare for the State competition at the end of April! Go Andrew! :)
