Today our students participated in the annual Knights of Columbus Spelling Bee. Some of the more challenging words were: chrysanthemum, psychology, itinerant, and parallel. The winning word this year at the Scripps National Spelling Bee is:
guetapens
Do you know what this word means?

Hi, that sounds way harder than the one that we have at brooklyn. I’ve never even heard of those words before. What round did you guys get to?
Buh bye

Hi Kaiden,
Thanks for the kind words. I’m actually not sure what round the kids got to. I think they stopped somewhere around word 158. It was fun.
The Spelling B was very fun to watch kids in 5th 6th 7th and of course the best class ever 8th grade I wish I could have the skill to do what they did some of them where super smart I am more of a reader then a speller but I love spelling Bs.
Glad you liked it, Drew. It’s nice that you appreciae the Bee, even though you chose not to be in it this year.
I looked up guetapens in the Dictionary and this is what I found:
