You know, somehow you get distracted. I'm gonna say it again. If you have misspelled going back to repeat doesn't override the the the error and and you'll be out, but you can go back and repeat correct letters. And again, I'll say scripts correct. Good morning. We would like to welcome everyone to Elcart High School for the 8th annual Elcart Community Schools Middle School spelling be. And I know this is also elementary. Uh we'll have middle school later. I'm Alex Holtz, a math coach for Elcart Community Schools. I and we are very excited to welcome all these young
002Lions to campus. Thank you to those who have joined us via YouTube to show support for your children and congratulations to you students for your achievements at your respective schools to qualify for this next round of competition. This promises to be a fun event that allows us to celebrate the successes of these kids and see firsthand the awesome young people we have in Elkcart. This is the third year we are hosting this bee is a scripts qualifying competition. The winner will move on to the online regional qualifying competition. The way the B works, if a student misspells a word, she or he is out. After I say a word, students may ask for a definition, origin, alternate pronunciation, andor for the word to be used in a sentence. I want to be very clear. They
003can ask for any or all of these clarifications. It is not limited to one. Students, when you spell a word, you will say the word, spell it, then say it again to indicate you're finished. For example, if the word you get is school, you would say school. S C H O O L school. If a word is misspelled at any point, the word is wrong and you'll hear that sound. Judges will indicate if you spelled the word correctly or not as soon as you have finished speaking. If you want to start over when spelling a word, you may say start over at any point during spelling a word. But if you do that, you must use the same letters you started with. So this is for if you get stuck in the middle of spelling
004and have forgotten where you are, not for if you realize you have spelled the word incorrectly. Just take your time, take a deep breath, and make sure the letters you say are what you want before you say them out loud. Before you begin, I would like to introduce you to the officials who will be presiding over the competition. Officials, please rise as I call your name. Kristen Cedarberg, director of professional learning. Judge David Bird, ETI principal. Judge Julie Tyraowski, stage helper. And a thank you to our one and only Jake Gabri, who is running the AV and live stream for your schools to see. Okay, at this time we should have all spellers on the stage. The names were put in a spreadsheet and then a random number generator picked the order. Each student will
005approach the microphone for her or his word. Students, once you're at the microphone for the first time, go ahead and just say your name so we know who you are and so you get used to the microphone a little bit. If you spell the word correctly, you move to the next round and simply return to the same seat. If you spell the word incorrectly, you are out and will go sit in the audience. We will continue this process until we have an overall individual champion. We will award the top five individual spellers in the top three teams most combined words correct. Do you have any questions? All right, if we could have our first speller come up then don't forget to introduce yourself. Thank you for being here. >> Uh my name is Marcelis. >>

And congratulations to you students for your achievements at your respective schools to qualify for this next round of competition. This promises

This is the third year we are hosting this bee as a scripts qualifying competition. The winner will move on to the online regional qualifying competition. The way the B works. If a student misspells a word, she or he is out. After I say a word, students may ask for a definition, origin, alternate pronunciation, andor for the word to be used in a sentence. I want to be very clear. They can ask for any or all of these clarifications. It's not limited to one. Students, when you spell a word, you will say the word, spell it, then say it again to indicate you are finished. For example, if the word
055you get is school, you would say school. S C H O L. School. If a word is misspelled at any point, the word is wrong. Judges will indicate if you have spelled the word correctly or not as soon as you have finished speaking. If you want to start over when spelling a word, you may say start over at any point during spelling a word. But if you do that, you must use the same letters you started with. So this is for if you get stuck in the middle of spelling and have forgotten where you are, not for if you realize you have spelled the word incorrectly. Just take your time, take a deep breath, and make sure the letters you say are what you want before you say them out loud. Before we begin, I
056would like to introduce you to the officials who will be presiding over the competition. Officials, please rise as I call your name. Kristen Cedarberg, director of professional learning. Judge David Bird, ETI principal. Judge Julie Tyraowski, stage helper. And a thank you to our one and only Jake Gabri, who is running the AV and live stream for your schools to see. Okay, at this time we should have all spellers on the stage. The names were put in a spreadsheet and then a random number generator picked the order. Each student will approach the microphone for her or his word. Students, once you're at the microphone for the first time, go ahead and just say your name so we know who you are and so you get used to the microphone a little bit. If you spell the
057word correctly, you move to the next round and simply return to the same seat. If you spell the word incorrectly, you are out and will go sit in the audience. We will continue this process until we have an overall individual champion. We will award the top five individual spellers and the top three teams most combined. Correct. Do you have any questions? Yep. Yep. We got conference of the judges there. Good. Yep. All right. So, if we can have our first speller come to the microphone, we'll do a little sound check again with names. I think it's okay.
