September Contest

Words have syllables (beats of energy) that can be counted. Use your fingers to tap each time you hear a syllable when you say the word “September”: “Sep”-1, “tem”-2 “ber”-3. Three syllables, right? Again, tap your fingers in the same way when you say it. You’ll notice that the second tap is louder/longer than the others—that means the second syllable is stressed: “sep-TEM-ber.”

Now, Here’s the Contest!

It’s return-to-school month in many places, so these words are related to school. Find two words on this list that have three syllables with stress on the second syllable:
