And folks, we have another fantastic speller in our family! As you have probably read in years past, Jake has participated and done well in several spelling bees. Megan was hesitant to participate for fear she wouldn’t do as well as Jake has done, but she was wrong. She did great! She came in at second place after another boy from her class who is very bright. Here are her words in the order she spelled them:
- syllable
- hospital
- cancel
- abduction
- facilitate
- authoritarian
- antagonism
- affinity
- adamant
- figurine
- valetudinarian
- illicit
- herbalist
- jeopardize
- vagrancy
- agnostic
- abhorrence
- gastrovascular
She spelled all of the above words correct. It was down to her and one other boy, Daniel, for the last 7 words on that list. Her final word was “fraudulent” and she misspelled it. I have to say I think the announcer said it incorrectly (more like fraugulent) but that wasn’t for me to decide. She still did and amazing job, taking second out of over 100 kids! Way to go Megan. I can’t wait for next year!
