I was pretty bummed about it too . But when our Provincial Test scores were announced in Grade 7, and I had a Grade 10 Level B spelling mark, it made up for that defeat! I also remember in Raymond, we had classroom spelling Bees. I always loved them! *sigh*<br />Aquaspcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02245372987722624186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-13001786150343715112013-12-19T10:31:57.762-05:002013-12-19T10:31:57.762-05:00It's ok Rachel.

I homeschooled "online" for 7 and 8 and for grade 9 I mainstreamed into high school for everything but core classes, which I took via the Alberta Distance Learning Center. It was great.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631734965938273438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-6320988981084343192013-12-19T07:15:37.757-05:002013-12-19T07:15:37.757-05:00Good job Rachel!

So speaking of virtual school in middle school we might be doing that with Ezra next year. They are talking about making a 5th and 6th grade academy. I'm not even a fan of junior high. So if they do, we're going to home school him for at least a year, maybe until high school.Cryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08093625438383031052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-91470162166866714732013-12-19T02:12:29.911-05:002013-12-19T02:12:29.911-05:00I placed second in the DISTRICT bee; I was so exci...I placed second in the DISTRICT bee; I was so excited!

I liked them because I was a good speller, and they didn't make me nervous very much. I was so much better at spelling than, say, baseball or dodge ball or red rover. It was nice to feel a bit of success once in awhile. But, we did not have a grade level or school level spelling bee. It was just something Mrs. Woolley liked to do to add variety to our learning. <br /><br />Such an interesting post!Myrnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450610418971329885noreply@blogger.com
