Yes, really...and thanks!

Colorado homeschoolers are allowed to send 7 children to the state competition. In total, 263 children participated from all over Colorado.

The morning started with a 50- word written test, and the top 35 scores from the test advanced to the afternoon oral rounds. Six of the seven homeschoolers made it into the top 35.

After the bee was complete, the standings showed that homeschoolers took first, third, fifth, and sixth places! Not bad representation!

We're looking forward to heading to D.C. My son has never been there. Any spelling tips for him would be appreciated!
