I am so proud!

Ok, so today in class, we had a spelling test.It starts easy, words like "red, led, run, lay" are in the first 15.

THEN it gets harder, words like Separate, Friends and ect. come next. They are from 15, to 35.

THEN it gets even harder! There are words like "Committee, Lieutenant and acquiatance come around.

My teacher, Mr. Wa*** informs us, that the highest ever for this test, in his 15 years of teaching, was 38.

The test begins: We work on our tests, I am so excited! I 'HAVE' to beat Sha****! Sha**** was the top speller in our class. (even though I tied with her, she was annouced 'Champion') Mr. Wa*** goes through the list, I thought I was doing pretty good!

The test is over, and we hand our test in to Mr.Wa***. He comes around and hands them back out to different people. I get a boy's named W******. Mr.Walsh announces the words. W***** gets 9/50.

I get my results, 49 out of 50! But wait! That wasn't right! Mr.W**** checked it again, and found out I got 45 out of 50! I was so happy! I beat the high score! I beat Sha****! I beat everyone! I couldn't beleive it! I found out I spell at a grade 10 level! (well actually, 9.8) I was the highest! And I couldn't be any more proud!

By the way, I'm trying not to brag, I always wanted to be the 'best' at something in school! And I found out that I read and spell at a high school level! Wee!

Congratulatiosn to you.

Sounded like fun, to jsut have to spell words, heehee, in Spain, in dictations, the teacher doesn't read us words, but sentences, and we have to write them out. For some reason, I have always found spelling easy, but since the teacher sometimes pauses for different lengths with full stops and commas, I am never sure whether she is pausing for a comma or not, and often get some marks knocked down for punctuation. Other than that, I often do well in the Dictations.

Congrats! Spelling is pretty easy for me though. When I look at something like millenium for about 3 seconds I can memorize it. but I don't think it's something for me to brag about, and I'm trying not to right now as I'm typing this. I just think it'll be useful when I grow up.

Oh... I love maths - ESPECIALLY algebra. Well, sometimes it can be a bit hard, but in general I like it. This year I will be entering the Maths Olympiad... I hope I can get past a few phases.

The proper way to get spelling correctly is really to read many books, and you get accustomed to seeing how the words are written and you will then be able to write them better when the time comes, as well as have a broader vocabulary.

I read many books, so the words just seem to be there in my head, and I write nearly automatically. Of course, there is always some Spanish word you may wonder about, since "b" and "v" have the same sound, and the "h" is silent, and "ge, gi" is the same as "je, ji" and "y" = "ll" etc... But in general, it goes well.

Thats what my teacher said, he said "Since you are a good reader, I excpected you to be a good speller"

We just started learning Alegebra, it was easy, but then he told us problems we would learn in the future, it goggled my head. lol!
