Hi,
As you probably know already Sara in our Grade 6 class won the school wide spelling bee. The regional meet will be in March (location and date TBA).
I will be offering two spelling lists. One will be the regular spelling list, the other will be from the CanSpell program. Students have the option to choose the list that they will work on for the week.
