The Spelling Bee

The Spelling Bee

Jasmine was sure she was going to win the class spelling bee. Only she and one other speller were left.

Mr. Russo said, " Finn, your next word is apology. " Finn spelled it wrong.

Jasmine smiled. Then, she spelled it the right way. She spelled one more word. Then, Mr. Russo said, " You won! "

At lunch, Lilly said, " Tomorrow you will be in the school-wide spelling bee! " " It should be easy, " Jasmine said. " I will probably have to spell baby words like the ones today. " she added. Finn looked sad. " I guess so, " he said.

The next day, Jasmine met with the other class spelling bee winners and Principal Lopez. She had not thought about the older students she would have to spell against.
