You're welcome ;)</p> <p>@banana: yes!!! Now I want to watch it again!!</p> <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: Mine was "balloon" in second grade, and I got it wrong. Awesome.</p> <p>@Anagram: oh my gosh, how fun!! Watching the bee always reminds me of my friends who are linguists. I wish I knew that many words!! And I'm sorry about your student-but I'm sure you did a great job with him!!</p> <p>@spaniellove: yes, it is. Get excited. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-bee-day#post-818300 Thu, 30 May 2013 13:23:35 +0000 spaniellove 818300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG is it that time already? I went to the regional bee and a friend of mine went to the national bee so yes, I am a spelling bee nerd! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-bee-day#post-818127 Thu, 30 May 2013 12:44:39 +0000 Anagram 818127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I used to coach the winners at our school for the local and then regional Scripps Howard bee and was SO into it! I love teaching the kids all about how etymology influences spelling, and part of speech, and all the little tricks....</p> <p>One year, the kid I was coaching from our school came in second at Regionals (for the whole DFW area), so was just 1 palce away from going to D.C. for the finals! I think I was almost as disappointed as he was! And I felt like I'd personally failed when he lost, because he got a word I KNOW we'd never studied...</p> <p>So yes, I'll probably try to catch at least some of it. You are not alone in your obsession! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-bee-day#post-818039 Thu, 30 May 2013 12:22:19 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 818039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, I don't normally get jazzed for it, but if it happens to be on, I'll catch some of it. </p> <p>That reminds me of when I was in a spelling bee in like, 5th grade. I got out on the word "Office" ::facepalm:: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-bee-day#post-817985 Thu, 30 May 2013 12:13:18 +0000 banana 817985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG I love the spelling bee! Have you ever seen the documentary "Spellbound"? I'm sure you have since you love spelling bees. This movie is what got me totally hooked on spelling bees! I'd LOVE for one of my kids to enter the school spelling bee competition! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-bee-day#post-817588 Thu, 30 May 2013 10:40:05 +0000 Dandelion 817588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS might actually be interested in seeing this...although I wouldn't be watching if you hadn't said anything, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spelling-bee-day#post-816937 Thu, 30 May 2013 07:42:50 +0000 LovelyPlum 816937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The national spelling bee is on today!!! </p> <p>Please tell me I'm not the only nerd who looks forward to this and will be glued to the TV tonight. Who's with me?? :) </p>
