All 3rd-5th graders are invited to participate in the MacArthur Spelling Bee sponsored by the Scripps National Spelling Bee and our PTA. We will hold practices during lunch recess (12:00-12:30) on three Tuesdays in November 13, 27/December 4 in the 4th/5th grade wing breakout space. Each practice will consist of fun ways to increase vocabulary, improve spelling, and develop correct grammar usage through mini spelling bees (friendly competition!). All spelling levels are encouraged to attend and no experience is necessary! Students are welcome to join any or all practices …no sign up required.
On Tuesday, December 11 the official school Spelling Bee by grade will occur. Then those top students will compete for the School Championship (December 18, 2:00-3:30) in the cafetorium! The School Champion can advance to the Regional, State, and National competitions.
Adult Volunteers Needed: If you can help on any or all Tuesdays, please email Caryn Pawlak at [email protected] We are in need of judges, pronouncers, and general helpers during practices and the Bee (Younger siblings welcome and no experience necessary…we will train you!)
If you have any questions, please contact the Spelling Bee Coordinator: Caryn Pawlak ( [email protected])
