The first meeting for Spelling Bee will be held on Thursday, November 1. This informational meeting for students in grades 3rd through 5th will be at held lunch recess. Please encourage your students to come and find out about the spelling team. Here's how the team works:
1. At the meeting Thursday, students will receive a list of words to study for the written test. The word lists are also below.
2. Next Wednesday, at lunch recess, students will be given a written test. The top twelve spellers will be on the spelling team.
3. The team will practice at lunch/recess time 2 x per week until the school bee in January. This will determine the 3 students, plus an alternate, who will compete in the regional, Cloverleaf Bee in late February.
4. Serious spellers will spend LOTS of time outside of school preparing/studying for the bee! At school, we will get tips and tricks, and practice the routines of the real bee so those become second nature.
