Smart Camille

We were eating dinner one night last week and were reviewing Camille's spelling words with her. We kept asking her one of the words on her list, and they were words like "glad, can, ect." They were very simple 3-4 letter words typical for 1st grade work.

Well, Carigan wanted to ask her sister words too and started looking around for things to ask. She began to ask her, "How do you spell ... window?" Without hesitation, Camille says, "WINDOW." This makes her father gasp, "Oh my gosh!" Cari asks her several other things to spell such as plate, table, tea, chair and Camille spells them all saying that they were too easy.

(She loves video games and spelling words...well, at least she looks like me!)

As a joke, we began asking her harder and harder words, one being the word, "tomorrow." Camille nails it and we are both are floored!!! We could barely spell that darn word, and she did in one try.

This has sparked us to challenge her spelling abilities, and she loves it. She has learned many other new words to add to her ever growing spelling list. Next year she can compete in a spelling competition with her school and surrounding schools. Until then, we will keep preparing her...for college.
