Logan competed in his first Spelling Bee today. Since he’s in the Colorado Virtual Academy, they grouped a bunch of students together and held a regional bee out in Windsor, CO, about 30 minutes north of here.

Logan was very nervous, and was bumped-out in the first round. He was nailed by the word “staple”… and very upset at himself, but quickly bucked-up to watch the rest of the competition.

It only lasted a few rounds, and the winner won on the word “yearning”. I guess she was yearning to win this thing!

Speaking of the Bee, if you haven’t yet seen the amazing film Akeelah and the Bee, so yourself a favor and go rent the DVD. Barring just a few bad words, it’s suitable for age 8 on up to 108, and it’s an amazing story of triumph and humanity. My boys loved it.
