Subject: Spelling Bee in Jerusalem
Hi,
Just want to share with Etni teachers the fact that we had our first
Jerusalem District Spelling Bee for elementary and junior high students this
afternoon at the American Cultural Center.
We enjoyed having students from our school participate, first at the
classroom level, then at the school level, and finally today, in the final
round. I'm definitely going to encourage more of my colleagues to
participate in future competitions.
I was especially impressed with the kids! When they're challenged, they're
great! Small doses of competition are obviously good for learning. The young
participants can put some adult spellers to shame!
For a first try, this was extremely successful! The children were delightful
and it was a very calm and positive experience.
I know that lots of people worked hard to make this event happen and thanks
to all of you! This kind of thing allows one to forget about strikes and
"matkonot" for a while!
