==Each third and fourth grade classroom will conduct their spelling bee and the top three spellers will move on to the school wide Spelling Bee. ==


 *  You must wait your turn before spelling a word.
 *  Do not shout or whisper suggestions to classmates.
 *  Good sportsmanship is expected from all!

 1. Each participant will step forward.

2. Mrs. High or Mrs. Henry will say your word, use it in a sentence, and then will repeat the word.

3. Each student will have one minute to spell the word. Judges will hold up a green card for the first thirty seconds, then a yellow card for the next 20 seconds, and finally a red card for the last ten seconds.

4. Students will need to say the word, spell the word, and end by saying the word again.

5. Students may ask to have the word repeated and used in a sentence before they begin spelling.

6. Each students will have only __one__ chance to spell a word.


 * If the student spells the word correctly, a judge will say "that is correct" and the students will move back to their seat until the next round.


 * If the student misspells the word, a judge will say "that is not correct" and the student must leave the stage quietly and sit down on the gym floor.

 7. The __final two student__ participants:


 * When the first speller misses a word the other speller will have the opportunity to spell that word correctly


 * If that spelling is correct, then the second speller will also need to spell the next word correctly in order to win.


 * However, if the second speller misspells the new word, then the first speller gets the chance to spell it correctly and continues until one of them spells __two__ words correctly.
