Top F-O-U-R

The first graders at Ava's school had their Spelling Bee qualifying round on Friday.  The top 4 spellers advance to the all school Spelling Bee on May 28th.  1st and 2nd graders will compete against each other then.

Of the 24 first graders in the school, there are only 3 native English speakers (including Ava), which seems a bit like an unfair advantage for them...but, those are the breaks, I guess.  We have been practicing at home for a few months and Ava did end up advancing, and the other 3 kids are all Croatian.  From left to right:  Luna, Ema, Evan, & Ava

Congratulations, Ava!
