For our last dictation of the year, the students will participate in a Spelling Bee on Friday, June 19th . It will be a friendly spelling competition to review all of the words/articles/verbs a Grade 1 student should be familiar with by the end of the year. You will find in your child's agenda a list of words to study for Friday.
1. The teacher pronounces the word, uses the word in a sentence, and says the word again.
2. The student listens carefully to the teacher and asks for the word to be repeated if necessary.
3. The student pronounces the word, spells it and then says the word again. The student must say it loud enough for everyone to hear.
4. The teacher determines whether or not the word was spelled correctly.
5. If the correct spelling was given, the student remains in the game.
6. If the spelling was incorrect, the student is eliminated from the game. The teacher gives the correct spelling of that word and then reads a new word to the next student.
7. When there are only two spellers left, if one player misspells a word, the other player must spell that word correctly, plus one more word to be declared the winner of the spelling bee.
There will be a prize for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. Bonne étude!
P.S. The Alpha Jeune books in the reading packages will continue to be read in class through Guided Reading Centers and Mon Partage de livre programme. However, as of last Friday they are no longer being sent home.
