What's the BUZZ in 2nd Grade??

Last Friday, as a culminating activity for Catholic Schools Week, students participated in a Spelling Bee (grades 4-8) and a Mini Bee (grades 1-3). The whole school was invited to watch as finalists from our classroom spelling bee competed against one another.
Our finalists were Hope, Jolie, Ryan Z and Sarah.
 Excited, nervous, and READY TO COMPETE!
 Spelling 3rd and 4th grade level words
 Sarah and Tess in the last round... competing for 1st place...
 Our first, second and third place finishers, along with Mrs. Harabedian!
Way to go 2nd graders! Sarah came in FIRST PLACE in the whole Mini Bee and Ryan tied for THIRD! Hope and Jolie did a fantastic job. I told the students how incredibly proud I was of them to even be able to stand up in front of the whole school to compete! I never could have done that at their age! (And I probably couldn't even do it now! I was nervous to just pronounce the words in the microphone!)
