Spelling Bee

Nathan was recently in the school spelling bee. The 4th and 5th graders send 2 kids from each class to participate. He made it through 10 rounds knowing words like vengeance, exercise, faucet, and palatable only to get out on the word haddock. I take responsibility for that since the only fish we eat at this house is salmon. He's excited to make a run for it next year as a 5th grader! This week he plans to write a speech about why he should be the class rep for student council, then he will be an emcee for the talent show. He doesn't ever mind being in the spotlight.
