Supr Spellerer

Jonah made it to the School Spelling Bee this year!
Each class grades 3-8 sends two students to compete against each other, for a total of 14 competitors.
The winner of this round goes to the Regional Spelling Bee somewhere in Portland.
Does he look nervous...?
His first round...I think he's looking at me for support...and for letters?
Just kidding, I would never do that...
He did so well.
Made it to the last 3, with two 8th grade girls...
Got "schooner" but alas, missed on "romaine"
We think he's one heck of a guy...and so smart.
I asked him if he was pleased with his performance, to which he said,"Yup."
By the way, every kid in his class was pulling for him, and after he got out he had to give
24 high-fives :)
Great job, Jonah!

Award Day

We are so proud of Jonah and Ava! They each received awards at school. Jonah got two for memory work. One was Scripture and one was for Historical Documents (Preamble, a bunch of Amendments, Declaration of Independence).
Ava received Scholar of the Year for her class (only 1 girl and 1 boy in each class get this honor)!!
They both have worked so hard this year--we are really loving their school and the education they are receiving is incredible.
(Sorry for the horribly fuzzy pictures!)
