I too, participated
in the intermediate spelling bee. I
lost on the word
"field". I thought
she said feel. I
spelled the word
right but I spelled
the wrong word.
My advice is that if
you don’t understand the word
some one gives
you, ask them to
repeat the word
or, to use it in a
sentence.

SPELLING BEE
By: Kristen Patterson
WHAT IS A SPELLING BEE?
Spelling bees are spelling competitions where you compete against other people by spelling words a teacher/
principle gives you, usually with a varying degree of difficulty.
The concept is thought to have originated in the USA, and
Spelling bee events are now held in some other countries
around the world which use imperfect writing systems.
WHAT HAPPENS IN A SPELLING BEE?
At this school, each class had a spelling bee. The runner
up and the winner move on to the school spelling bee. The
1st , 2nd, and 3rd graders had a primary spelling bee on January 14, 2015. The 4th and 5th graders had an intermediate
spelling bee on January 16, 2015. The winner of the intermediate spelling bee moved on to the district spelling bee. The
district spelling bee was on January 21, 2015 at 4:00 pm, at
Elkhorn Elementary.
