We will soon find ourselves in the process of determining the top two spellers from each fourth and fifth grade classroom to compete in the school spelling bee. The winner of that bee will be eligible to compete in the regional spelling bee, help at Missouri Southern State University (MSSU), during Spring Break.
If you want to prepare, or help someone else prepare, the words are provided on the Joplin Globe's Newspaper in Education website. Please note, competitors at the regional level will be responsible for studying all grade level words (plus the lists of hard, harder, and hardest words).

MICHELLE, a student in my class a few years ago, qualified for and conquered the regional competition at MSSU. She is still featured in the photograph at the top of the Spelling Bee webpage. It's interesting to note that more than a couple of Hoggatteers have won the Cecil Floyd contest, beating out all other fourth graders as well as the fifth graders.
