Round+1


 * 2010-2011 Wheatland**: We had signup sheets in homeroom for a week and asked students who were interested to sign up. We ended up having approximately 130 students sign up. Then during Intensive classes on day we met in the auditorium and gave a written spelling test. There were eight 6th grade words, eight 7th grade words, and eight 8th grade words. Then we added six "challenge words". After grading the quizzes (thanks Michelle and Florence) we determined our top 26.

Next we will hand out those grade level lists of words from spellingbee.com--student materials. There are 100 words for each grade so we will give the spellers 5th-8th grade to study from. The site suggests that students master their own grade level first and then move on to other levels. We will chose from those 400 words for the school bee.
