Speeling Beee

San Lucas English teacher Mary put her students to the test with a spelling competion. Padre and Vicki were brought in to be native speaker judges. Students read a word in English and then spelled it in English. We had some discussion of how to do some letters- like "W". In Spanish you have two choices: double "U" or double "V". Not so in English. Also, what do you do about our Brits who help here? They use "zed"! After figuring these issues out, we had a great time. Secondary winner: Margot from Sagrada Familia. Primary winners: Waldir from San José and a María de los Santos who nearly passed out from the stress of competition! A hug from Miss Vicki helped restore her confidence. Our winners´photo didn´t turn out.
