Can You Spell Capitulation...Well Asaiah Edwards Can and Did!

Well this is finally Milani and yes this is my first blog post “WOOT”. So I thought the nice thing to do would be to explain why it took me FOREVER to write a blog post. Well lets just say school work so THANKS to my teachers I have TONS of work.

How about we start out with the district spelling bee! It was a very nice event the artwork a.k.a. decorations were FANTASTIC, and the spellers well after about the 20th word I had no clue what they were spelling it was just like a whole bunch of letters!

The first word happened to be “coffee” and then there were about 38 more words after that which made up the first round. The first round—No one got out at all (yay)! That was very good to see.

Second round—8 people out (still very good)The first word misspelled was “exercise”. Just thought I would put that little detail in.

Third round—3 more added to the 8 (for people who cant add that’s 11)

Fourth round—4 more added to the 11 (15)

Now there happened to be more rounds but there weren’t enough people left to really bother counting at this point.

So by the 7th round there were 3 people left Sapphire Andrews, Asaiah Edwards and Jasmine Medina . (All seen in the photo below)

After Sapphire got out it was Yasmine and Asaiah and they went at it with so much back and forth it was crazy and the words were even crazier. In total they went through about 225 words it was unbelievable! (This includes ALL the spellers – of course!) But in the end Asaiah Edwards won the battle; a 6th grader at Cedarbrook Elementary (my old school! – Woo Hoo!!)

To all contestants—Thank You, you guys did great and keep up the fantastic work and I hope to see you in the next one!
