So You Think You Can S-P-E-L-L?
If you think you’ve got skills when it comes to spelling, we want you! On Wednesday, September 9th, any student who is interested in trying out for the SMS Spell Bowl Team is invited to take a short spelling test during ELA class.
The Spell Bowl Team usually meets twice a week for seven weeks to study a list of 1,595 words on the Indiana Academic Spell Bowl Junior Division List. Our team has a history of representing SMS well at competition, even going to state last year! Our team also has kids who are actively involved in sports and other clubs at the same time. It is possible to participate in Spell Bowl AND another sport/club if you’re willing to put in the effort. If you think you’d like to try out for the Spell Bowl Team on September 9th, here’s what you should do:
- Check out the link to the IASP Junior Division List.https://www.iasp.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/SpellJrWordList.pdf
- Have a conversation at home—who would pick you up from practices if they end at 4:15?
- Will you be available for virtual competition on Wednesday, November 4th?
- See your Language Arts teacher or Mrs. Cox for specific questions.
