Spelling Bee
At the spelling bee, the kids were stressed, but worked hard. In the first round, 1/3 of the students spelled a word wrong. Things slowed down a bit after the first round. The audience had a hard time sitting still and being quiet for over an hour. Around the 11th round, it was down to the last five students. It was several rounds before any of them got out. When it was down to Delaney Bogan and Preston Greer, the drama really started. Delaney misspelled a word and went out. Everyone thought it was over for Delaney, but Preston misspelled the final word. Delaney went back in because Preston misspelled the word. Preston went out on a word, but got back in because the word was mispronounced. At last, Delaney won once and for all. She will represent Nance at the District Spelling Bee and Preston will be her alternate. The Spelling tournament isn't quite over yet.

Leafy branches. Quiet space. Breathes surround me and all I hear is the chirping of a new born bird. My tree is considered the most amazing place in the world because it is super quiet and more comfortable than my bed. From my point of view my tree is so awesome because all of the things I can do when it's quiet. For example I can read my favorite book. Additionally, I love my tree because of how relaxing and comfortable it is. To sum it up, my special place is the most amazing spectacular place in the world to me because it is super quiet and more comfortable than my bed.
Green grass. Open space. The loud beep when someone scores. People running up and down the field. The soccer field can be considered a very important place to me because of the pressure. Without a doubt, the soccer field is a very special place to me because of the competition. I love fighting for the ball. I love when the ball is in the middle and everybody is trying to get it. I especially like when I'm the goalie and the ball comes toward me. One time my team made it to the championship and won in the last 5 seconds. Additionally, the soccer field is a very important place to me because of the pressure. I like when it is one on two. One time, it was five on one and I made it passed everyone. Everybody has a favorite space. My favorite space is the soccer field because of the pressure and the competition.
