2nd Grade Spelling Words

Here are the words that Connor had for spelling words last year in school. THe only one he ever got wrong was 'scatterbrain'.

offwhite Come temporary away helium after shaggy been sacrifice conclusion
hearty prediction heartwood hypothesis heckle procedure separate observation
necessary conserve mosquito scatterbrain librarian xylophone stationery cooperate
somersault responsibility whether fillet neither vegetable gout their drover said
druthers science drupe citizen drumlin community dumb rescue dulcet robust duffel
rootlet exterminator residue eyetooth resemblance expertise restaurant expansion
favorite expedition squeaky execution people enfold metamorphosis enigma dictionary
what production very introduction editorial contralto dappled contort cyclamen
coppersmith curbstone counselor cusp counterattack curvature counterintelligence
cannabis countermanded cumulus countersign canard flare grayling flanked graymatter
flintlock grenadier because greave timid greengrocer TNT greenhorn tomahawk gripe
torch grouper families baloney northward monument nourish peninsula numerous
valedictorian Nuremburg unacquainted obliterate stewardess oncoming stethescope
onrushing eclipse bloodthirsty neutral deliberate ultimatum cacti kerchief cauldron
giddiness campaign maimed canker narrate captive novice carcass crocodile.

He represented his 2nd grade class in the school Spelling Bee and came in 2nd place. He did amazing!! I am SO proud of him. I don't know if I have any Spelling Bee pictures on the laptop to post or not.


He lost to the previous champion who was a 4th grader but they took out everyone else from 2nd to 5th grade. He says he won't do it again but I hope he will reconsider. His Dad missed it this year but his grandparents and I were there.

A HUGE thanks to Mrs. Haynes who saw that the normal spelling words were too easy and let him pick from spelling word lists to 5th grade and the dictionary. She did an exceptional job working with Connor even though he is a difficult kid and was diagnosed ADHD this year too. Our school is lucky to have Mrs H. and we have been lucky to have fantastic teachers every year.
