2nd Quarter 6th grade Spelling Bee

Spelling Bee

Have you ever had a spelling bee? If not, I will tell you what it is. 

I will also tell you how it might feel like. This will also help all 5th graders if they will go to the 6th grade Spelling Bee. If you want to know more, read on.


First of all, a spelling bee is some type of contest where you are given a word to spell. If you spell the word right, you are still in the game. If you spell the word incorrectly, you are out. Also, you can ask to repeat the word. You can also ask for the definition of the word. Finally, you can ask for the word in a sentence. These three things will help you better understand the word and also help you spell it. It may feel frustrating while in a spelling bee because some words might be really hard. Overall, these are some things about a spelling bee and how it might feel like.

During a spelling bee, you need to be Thinkers. One reason why you need to be thinker is because when you are given a word, you might have to use what you know to try and spell a word. Some things that you can do is sound a word out or to put a word into syllables. You also have to be thinkers because if you don't know a word, you might have to think of what letters make more sense when you spell. These are the reasons why you need to be thinkers during a spelling bee. 


Finally, I will tell you about the spelling bee that we had today on January 15th. During the spelling bee, there were about 25 students participating. It was challenging because some words weren't taught to us yet. Also, sometimes we forgot how to spell some words so we would have to sound it out.

Overall, this 2nd quarter spelling bee was fun but also challenging. Now you know what a spelling bee is and how feels like.
