Anyone watch the spelling bee?

DH & I watch it every year. It is fascinating to watch the kids figure out the spelling of such uncommon words. Yet they are kids and I always feel so bad for them when the bell rings indicating that they spelled the word wrong because then they always look like such babies.

DS paid attention this year and asked how they know how to spell. He's all about his sight words and word families, and was clearly interested and intimidated by the kid's abilities- but who isn't?

We watched the geography bee!!! OMG, those kids were so smart. I couldn't answer ONE of the questions. I was impressed - DH got a few of them right.

1st grade spelling test every Friday is killin' me. Spelling of words makes NO SENSE. "Laugh"? Really? and Ocean should be Oshin.
