Our school had a spelling bee for the third graders last Friday. Two of my students were chosen as winners of our class spelling bee. I was so nervous every time it was their turn. When one of them misspelled "beginning" (he said "beganning"), I wanted to go right up to him to tell him it was okay and that he did a good job. The other student held in there until the last round. Another student spelled "government" wrong (he said "goverment"), then my student spelled "beautiful" correctly, and the last student spelled "exactly" wrong (he said "exactily") and the student from our class won! Our whole class was rooting for him and clapped for joy!
