Because we are prepping for our school-wide spelling bee in February, we won’t be doing our typical spelling lists and tests for the next 4 weeks. Instead, we will be using the spelling lists I sent home last week (titled SCRIPPS National Spelling Bee list) to practice during the week and then do classroom spelling bees each Friday. The classroom bees will be very simple and lowkey and allow three chances to spell each word correctly. I will do my best to make sure they are not stressful and that the children are able to learn and also enjoy the process. I will send out regular spelling lists again after February 22nd.

I sent home a list with each child in the class, but if you have lost yours or would like another copy, please let me know and I’m happy to send another one home. Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions!
