🐝 Spelling Bee Resources
The 2023-2024 Spelling Bee is here!
The Spelling Bee is a wonderful opportunity for your child to build their spelling and vocabulary skills through friendly competition. Students in Grades 1-8 will compete in their classroom Spelling Bees with winners moving onto higher levels of competition. One winner will be chosen to represent our school at the Los Angeles County Regional Spelling Bee, where the top speller will be chosen to represent L.A. County at the National Spelling Bee! Will your child "bee" the one to take home the trophy?
Use the resources linked below to prepare your child to do their "b-e-s-t" at the Spelling Bee.
