Spelling Bee

February 25, 2015
So Lilly was chosen to represent her 1st grade class in the school spelling bee.  1st graders were up against 2nd and 3rd graders too.  I didn't think she had much of a chance against the older kids but the girl pleasantly surprised me by getting 3rd place overall!!!!!   The 1st and 2nd place finishers were 3rd graders.  I was so dang proud of my little 1st grader.   
Here she is going up to spell one of her words

The winners-
 3rd place (Lilly), 2nd place (a 3rd grader) and 1st place (a 3rd grader)

One happy girl. 
She got some certificates, Skittles and a $20 gift card to Wal-Mart!

Here is what a 3rd place 6 year old spelling bee winner
chooses to spend her $20 gift card on-
 a LaLaLoopsy Doll and a big bouncy ball
