We're #31!

 As I mentioned today during our classroom awards ceremony, I was a little confused when I received a very official looking package in the mail last week announcing our 31st place victory in World Spelling Day. After doing a bit of research I found that 509,500 students and 19,215 schools from 212 countries competed in this worldwide competition. Besides 31st place nationally, we also placed 7th in the United States in the 8 - 10 year old category. 

So yes, I decided that 31st place was something to celebrate after all! Nice job super spellers!
