Chicot Elementary Spelling BEE!
When: Friday December 8th 2023
We are now in spelling bee season! In a spelling bee, children are asked to spell words. The child who spells the most words correctly is the winner. Schools hold spelling bee competitions to encourage children to learn to read. Also, spelling bees encourage children to learn about spelling words and improve their vocabulary. Students enjoyed last year and we are excited about this year!

Every year, students from all walks of life have the opportunity to participate in the Scripps National Spelling Bee program. They progress from classroom to cafeteria, from auditorium to civic center, just as millions of other students have done before them.
