Spelling Bee

Hello Families!

The lists for the upcoming spelling bee were sent home yesterday.  We are so excited about this fun opportunity for each student to dive into the amazing words that make up our language.

The theme CONNECTIONS is what your child will be studying during our fourth thematic unit.  

During this theme our school will celebrate a Spelling Bee week which will include class spelling bees, lower and upper el spelling bees, and a school wide spelling bee. All students are encouraged to participate in the spelling bee that will be held in their classroom. We want all students to work with the words used in the spelling bee to help build their vocabulary and spelling knowledge.  Our class spelling bee will be a fun experience, held during the week of February 18-21.  The top three spellers will join the lower elementary spelling bee on Tuesday, February 26th at 9am.  

If your child is not comfortable participating in this event, they can also participate in other ways. If your child decides not to take part in their classroom bee, they will need to use the spelling bee words in another way to share with their classmates. Some of these ways include but are not limited to writing a story using as many of the spelling bee words as possible, creating multiple funny sentences using the words, create a board game using the words, create a game involving good, physical activity with the words, create a classroom scavenger hunt with the words.

When words are involved, the possibilities are endless!
