New Mexico Spelling Bee info |
September
2010
Spelling Bee Coordinators:
The Albuquerque Journal and Newspapers in Education are again
sponsoring the New Mexico Spelling Bee. Spellers from 25 counties in New Mexico
are eligible for the 2011 bee.
Here are the steps you must take so your students will be eligible to
participate in the New Mexico Spelling bee:
- Register your school with the Scripps National Spelling Bee at
www.spellingbee.com before
October 15. A fee of $99 is
mandatory for spellers to be eligible to participate in the New Mexico
and national bees. For the fee, schools receive Web access to classroom bee word
lists and the School Pronouncer Guide. Schools enrolling after the
October 15 deadline will be assessed a late fee of $75.
- Hold county, Albuquerque and Rio Rancho school district bees before
Feb. 1, 2011. Registration forms for spellers will be sent to county
and district coordinators in January. The number of enrolled schools in each
county, APS and RRPS will determine the number of eligible spellers for the New
Mexico bee. One speller will be accepted for each 10 (or portion of 10) schools
enrolled with the national bee.
- Prepare a set of rules and word lists for school, county and
district competition. Your officials have control of their bees. Their
decisions are final. New Mexico Spelling Bee officials cannot override any
school, district, or county bee decision. However, Jan Jonas, New Mexico
Spelling Bee Coordinator, is available for advice or training
sessions.
- Provide an opportunity for any student, whether in public,
private, parochial or home school, to compete in local, district, county and
cluster bees. Every effort should be made to include all interested
students.
The New Mexico bee is scheduled for March 12, 2011. The specific location
in Albuquerque, date and time will be announced in mid-September. Check the Web
site www.abqnie.com for updated information.
You will also find the Word a Day feature for spellers to study. The winner of the New Mexico Spelling Bee goes on to participate in the
Scripps National Spelling Bee on June 1-3, 2011, in Washington, D.C. The
champion and a parent’s airfare, hotel, food and official tour expenses will be
paid for by the Albuquerque Journal and Newspapers in Education.
