Our Spelling Star

As you can see in our last post, Sis has changed her blog name to Stella (Latin for Star). I thought that this was an appropriate Latin nickname for my sparkling little girl and one of my prize pupils. :)

I am so proud to announce that Stella won first place for 3rd and 4th graders in our homeschool Co-Op's spelling bee!! She worked so diligently to prepare for this and entered it with so much confidence and poise. She truly wasn't nervous and did a fabulous job. The winning word was cauliflower, and my heart was pounding out of my chest when she spelled it correctly. She won a gift card to Target, so we went out on a special date to choose a gift with her prize. After looking through nearly every department, she settled on a pretty necklace to remind her of this special event.

CONGRATULATIONS, STELLA!
