Glad to see your faces again!
Today, I want to touch on the subjest of additional educational activities for elementary school children. By this I mean activities that are not required of the children.
One particular activity I am referring to is the Spelling Bee. Recently, some of my kids at work have decided to enter the Spelling Bee through their school.Why is this a great idea? Well, this gives the children the opportunity to challenge themselves in learning vocabulary they might not typically learn. This also is the chance for elementary age children to become more comfortable in speaking in front of large groups of people.
In watching my kids prepare for their Spelling Bee, I have seen so many changes in them.
- Their grammar and vocabulary overall has improved.
- They are more confident in working with others.
- They are more prone to asking questions about something they are unsure of.
- They have gained new friends they might not have have interacted with before.
Not only are these children involved improving their learning skills, but they are having a great time doing it! Everyone should encourage their children to participate in the Spelling Bee! Learn, Laugh, & Spell!!!
Thanks for stopping in & I will see you next class!
