| Athena is taking part in the Gilham spelling bee. |
Luckily they didn't make her pronounce them. She just had to spell them.
For the first five weeks the words were written. Next week they switch to the oral spelling bee style. They will be retested on the above words.
Hopefully they won't need to move onto the fifty tie breaker words. They are scary-looking things such as:
unbeknownst
indigenous
harangue
dulcimer
juxtaposition
ochre
kinesthetic
bazaar (wouldn't be so bad except "bizarre" is also on the list!)
succinct
diagrammatical
fortuitous
Maybe dad can help her prepare for the tie breakers. I am not sure how to pronounce some of them. Even my spell check doesn't know some of them!
At least Athena and I both survived our tests this week. Relaxing with ice cream tonight and this weekend back to studies!
