Check out some of the words these kids are spelling during live Round 3 action:
Round 3.
Maithreyi Gopalakrishnan was the first to drop out during the third round. She is sponsored by the Boulder Daily Camera here in my state of Colorado. This is a big surprise since it is her third time participating at the National Bee and she studies year round with special internet spelling groups.
Hopefully she will now relax and enjoy the rest of her stay in Washington, D.C. Last year, her parent had her stay in her hotel room studying the whole time.
My son represented Colorado last year and was sponsored by the Rocky Mountain News. We took full advantage of all of the sightseeing trips that were offered and had a GREAT time!
