Dayton decided for his 4
th grade year that he wanted to participate in as many extra curricular activities as possible. First up, spell bowl. This is a huge commitment. Twice a week he's at the school by 7:45 to take a test on 50 spelling words and they aren't words like, tree, and house but words like inconvenience and anemone. There are a total of 750 words and at the actual meet each participant is given 7 words and they write them down in front of a proctor who grades them on the spot. Dayton did so well during the weeks up to the tournament that he was chosen to compete on the actual day of the meet. He was 1, 2, or 3rd place among all of his team members the entire time. Spell bowl was not his favorite but he stuck with it. If nothing else, it sure helped with his spelling and vocabulary.
