Spanish Spelling Bee???

April 23, 2008 - Tucker had an exciting day at school. He did a book report on Sydney Rella (yes, that's a boy's version of Cinderella) and was required to dress up for the presentation. Sydney Rella wanted to be on the football team instead of going to the Ball. Tucker's class had a fun time with their fractured fairy tale unit.

The afternoon was the moment Tucker had been waiting for - okay, not really. He doesn't really enjoy "stinking Spanish", but he had won his class Spanish spelling bee so he was off to the school wide competition. Granny was able to go cheer him on. A Spanish spelling bee involves being able to write the word correctly on the board and then being able to spell the word using the Spanish alphabet. Tucker finished in 10th place after writing "octubre" correctly but saying the last "e" incorrectly. We were proud of him! Maybe we need to take a trip to Spain! Tucker has suddenly gained an interest in that "stinking Spanish" class!
