Congratulations to the following fantastic fifth grade students who qualified for the BWE Spelling Bee!

The BWE Bee will be held Monday, December 19th at 2:00 pm in the Eagles Nest. Families are invited to attend.
Mrs. Hoge will conduct Spelling Bee practice sessions on Thursdays, beginning December 1st from 3:45-4:30 in the computer lab. We'll have mini spelling bees, get familiar with the rules of the bee and learn different strategies to use.
A permission slip for parents to sign granting permission to attend the practice sessions will go home on Monday, November 21st with additional information about the bee. You may go to the following website to start looking at the words we'll be studying during the bee practices. Pay particular attention to the Words You Need to Know section. This website is used to generate the words for the national spelling bee, and the one we'll be using during practice sessions. Students who do not have access to the Internet at home will receive a spelling bee word packet. All others may access the words via computer.
