Friday Open Thread
After three long days, the National Spelling Bee ended in...a tie...for the second year in a row. The judges ran out of words on their list. In a fun twist, both contestants have last names that might be a challenge to spell - Gokul Venkatachalam and Vanya Shivashankar. Vanya correctly spelled the word "scherenschnitte" and Gokul correctly spelled the word "nunatak." The story from CNN is great and the recoiling of one contestant who lost from his mother's sympathetic kiss is priceless (we've all been there if you have boys). Show the kids the story from CNN - many great moments. Work Party at Hamilton Middle School on Sunday, May 31st from 10 am-noon.
