Many are the advantages that come from learning how to spell words. For instance, it helps with reading and writing, it improves your memory and it supports the connections that we make when thinking about sounds and letters.
Since at Los Olivos School we believe the Spelling Bee event is an incredible opportunity for students to learn more about their second language, get motivated and improve their skills, we have been celebrating this contest for a few years now.
This year, because of the Covid, it has been a bit different than other years in which the participants had their classmates cheering for them at the auditorium. It was a great day for them though and for all the ones who could attend and were there to help.
Three different finals were celebrated and these have been the winners this year:
1st and 2nd Grade: - Right to left - Silvia (1st place), Antonio (2nd place) and Sofía (3rd place).
3rd and 4th Grade: Elisa (1st place), Jaime (2nd place) and Clara (3rd place).
5th and 6th Grade: Sara (1st place), Manuela (2nd place) and Marta (3rd place).
They will have the opportunity to represent our school in the AMCO Spelling Bee National Contest in May. So good luck!! We believe in you!! 👏
For those of you who will represent our school in the National Contest, and for those who are interested in participating the coming years, here you have a video by AMCO in which they share with us 10 tips to improve your Spelling Bee skills.
