  • A PowerPoint presentation will be shared to run the competition. Audio is needed to hear the words. There are 20 words to spell.
  • Like the House Trivia competition, 3 advisories will meet in one room, one from each House.
  • If possible, each advisory should create 3 more or less even sized mixed gender teams – so there are 9 teams in each room.
  • Nominate up to 3 student markers, to assist in scoring
  • If possible, mini whiteboards should be used for each team to spell each word. If mini whiteboards are not available, scrap paper can be used.
  • No technology is permitted for students during the competition.
  • Run the presentation as a slide show, allowing time for teams to spell each word. Teams should hold up their spelling towards the front so the markers can see if they are correct or not. It is either right or wrong. Correct each word as you go, keeping score on the scoresheet provided.
  • When finished, add the total scores for each team, the highest scoring house wins, next highest second and then third.
  • If there are unequal numbers of teams for each house, average the results to determine the winner. Each room needs to determine which house is 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
  • Send your 1st, 2nd and 3rd Houses to Mr. Chesterman when completed.

 

Thank you for your support.

MS/US library books unavailable from June 10

Teachers,

We will begin packing up the MS/US fiction (M and YA sections), nonfiction books, adult fiction books, and foreign language books on June 10 to move them upstairs in the cafeteria for the HUB construction. All student library books will be due on June 6th, so there will be no more student checkouts to affect the timing. Please plan ahead if you will need books for MS/US classes (or yourself) during the last two weeks of school and over the summer.

The elementary section of the library will be moved at some point in the fall, so those books are available to teachers through the end of the school year.

Deleting old textbooks from your classrooms – reminder

If you want to get rid of/delete old textbooks from your classrooms, they MUST come to the library first if they have a barcode. We have to delete them from the school inventory. We have carts you may borrow if you have more than a handful of textbooks to bring down to the library.

You can begin bringing in old textbooks on Monday, May 20. The last day to bring us old textbooks is Monday, May 27. We will bring the deleted textbooks over to the PAC for decluttering on Tuesday, May 28.
