Whoopie Lee - Adeline Foo
It’s good to be back at school. I was still a little upset with Morticia, so I refused to take the seat beside her. But by the end of the day, we were back as friends. Thanks to a new English teacher who had taken our class. Of all the names in the world, his mother chose to name him Noah Webster! After the dictionary! We thought he was joking when he told us his mother was crazy about collecting dictionaries. That really got us cracked up. Then someone asked if he was married to Miss Oxford or Miss Cambridge. He just chuckled and said he was pleased we are a clever bunch. Morticia and I really like him! He’s sooooo cool!
I love his trousers! I could have sworn they are bellbottoms. I’ve seen the same style of trousers hanging in Grandpa’s cupboard. Imagine that, a teacher named after the Webster’s Dictionary.
I told Mr. Webster after class that I’m training with Morticia to enter the Spelling Championship. He was thrilled when he heard that! He offered to train us immediately. This is FANTASTIC! We are sooooo going to need all the help we can get!
I did some research on famous movies and books that were written about Spelling Bee Champions. It was AWESOME to read about these stories. Here’s a list:
Whoopie’s Spelling Bee Champs’ List
1. The Girl Who Spelled Freedom
This story is based on the real life events of Linn Yann, a Cambodian refugee who became a National Spelling Bee finalist in the United States. The story was made into a Disney film!
2. Spellbound
A documentary about eight children in a National Spelling Bee finals. It was even nominated for an Academy Award! (Imagine that, these kids must be so FAMOUS!)
3. Bee Season, a movie starring Richard Gere and Juliette Binoche
The story is about a family on a downward spiral when the father becomes obsessed with training his 11-year-old daughter to become the spelling bee champion, at the expense of the other family members. (Hmmm... this doesn’t sound like a ‘happy movie’! But imagine being cast in a movie when you’ re only 11! That’s sooooo cool!)
4. Akeelah and the Bee
About Akeelah Anderson, an 11-year-old girl from a poor family who has a gift for words. Despite the objections of her mother, she overcomes school bullies to enter many spelling contests to earn the chance to compete for a spot in the American Scripps National Spelling Bee. (And of course, she
