SPELLING BEE
Our first practice will be next Wednesday, October 4,
during your child’s lunch period. We will meet in the library to take
attendance, distribute the official Word List, and get started learning
how the Spelling Bee will work. For some of the kids, this will be
their first time meeting with us, so we’ll spend some time getting to
know each other too. Please make sure to remind your child that
Spelling Bee club will take the entire lunch period, so they may not get
any recess time on the days that we meet. (We’ve spaced our practices
out this year, so that the kids don’t have to miss their outside time
quite so often!)
Here’s our practice schedule again, in case anyone needs it…
