Birthday Boy and Spelling Bee Champ

Noah turned 11 years old.

He was up earlier than usual, so excited.

I brought Noah lunch from Artic Circle.

He liked that delicious, yummy surprise.

 

Then came the Spelling Bee.

Noah and Hiram decided to enter the spelling bee.

Last night we worked for a few hours going over words with them. 

 

We were pleased to see each of them make it through the first round.

Then they made another round and another.

After 5 rounds Hiram got out on the word "Scenario".

He forgot the "c".

Hiram was in 5th place.

 

Noah and another girl, Natalie, were up against each other as the final contestants.

They spelled word after word.

Sometimes Noah would spell a word wrong, but then Natalie would too.

In the end, it was Noah won 1st place.

What a great birthday present. 

Noah he and Natalie will go on to the district spelling bee on March 30th.

Serious study time begins.

 

Noah had a couple friends over this afternoon.

They were able to watch "Big Hero 6."

Noah enjoyed the presents, the attention and winning the Spelling Bee for his birthday. 

It was a wonderful day!
