Spelling Bee Results

Today was the 1st-4th grade district spelling bee. Pioche 1st and 2nd graders were excited to be in the audience to cheer on 1st graders Wylee, Irish, & Garret and 2nd graders Alexis, Kenny, & Josee. Earlier in the day we encouraged the participants with a cheer:
We are proud of you!

We are proud of you!

Do your best,

Don't worry about the rest!

We are proud of you!


Ask our participants. They were nervous to be in front of so many faces and spell words in a microphone. But they did wonderfully! There were some easy words and some difficult words. Here are the words that stumped our smart 1st and 2nd graders:

Irish - beat

Garret - been

Wylee - brown

Kenny - beam

Josee - blimp

Alexis - fleet
