Agribee. A-g-r-i-b-e-e. A spelling bee competition using only farming words, that requires participants to both spell and define words. Agribee.
Kaelyn's 4th grade class had a spelling bee in her class to determine 2 representatives for the Regional Agribee Spelling competition. She qualified as a rep for her class, but little did she know what she was getting into!
She had 6-8 weeks to prepare and a list of almost 200 words to spell and define. Her teacher suggested she work on these instead of her usual spelling assignments. She worked hours on those words, in fact, we all did! The big day arrived and Kaelyn was cool as a cucumber. Nothing rattles that girl! I was nervous for her, but she was cheerful and unaffected. She did so great! She placed 6th overall and received a $40 gift card as a prize.It was so much fun to cheer her on and watch her be rewarded for all her hard work!
Congratulations! Mainly to Kaelyn of course. I am sure she already has figured out what she will spent her gift card one. Proud of her!
