Spring Fundraiser -  Next week is our annual Spring Fundraiser!  The two forms were sent home in agendas today. There are two options for the spring fundraiser.  Students may participate in one or the other, or both! :) 

The below form is for the PlayTown! trip.  Students who fundraise $40 can attend this trip on April 10th.  By raising the $40, students get to fill out 4 ballots for a chance to pie a teacher in the face of their choice.

Introduction to Spelling Bee

Students were introduced to how the spelling bee will run, and what to do and say.  We discussed how a judge will ask them to say a word, and then the students say the word, spell it, and say the word again. For example:

Judge: "Please spell the word bat" student: "bat... b-a-t... bat" 

Today we practiced some of the spelling bee words.  Ms. Fisher wrote out the letters as the students said them to help with practicing recognition.
