Spelling Bee on February 16th!!
Groups 4, 5G and 5B will be taking a short break from Wordly Wise to prepare for a Spelling Bee. Students will be using an actual list from the 1984 Scripps Spelling Bee! They will be tested ONLY on spelling of 15-20 words, not vocabulary and parts of speech, each week. Finally, on Tuesday, February 16th, we will have a live Spelling Bee between the three groups from 1p.m.-2:00pm.
