Unfortunately, she was out on her first word. As disappointed as I was, I didn't feel too bad about her missed her word:
goatee.
I don't really expect a fifth grader to know how to spell it. But, apparently, it is fair game and it got her out. Her best friend made it to the second round, but was eliminated with 'futon'.
Here is the entire list used in our spelling bee:
Round One:
chocolate
balcony
ninja
gospel
canary
frolic
broadleaf
thermal
diplomat
prescription
easel
dejected
goatee
hustle
tutu
reckless
denture
earthenware
topical
chinchilla
forlorn
powwow
spectrum
candidate
Round Two:
hassock
talc
denim
renovate
falsetto
totem
ravel
pragmatic
finale
herbivore
safari
futon
ventilate
tundra
palette
alamo
Round Three:
collage
fatigue
gazelle
portfolio
bequeath
stoic
All words in the third round were spelled incorrectly, except for the winning word 'portfolio'.
I still have some favorite words for spelling bees:
persimmon
pomegranate
muscular
chandelier
