3) Upcoming Glass Bus Tour
1) Regional Homeschool Spelling Bee
Calling all spelling enthusiasts!
The Regional Homeschool Spelling Bee is scheduled for Wed., Jan. 15th, 10 a.m. at Berrien Springs Community Library. This Bee is the first step toward qualifying for the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. The top 3 finalists from this Regional Homeschool Bee will go on to compete at the Cloverleaf Regional Bee at the Mendel Center at LMC on Feb. 11th, 2014. The winner of the Cloverleaf competition receives free entry and travel expenses to compete in the National Bee.
No entry fee is required. Please RSVP to me if you are interested. Students in grades 3-8 may enter, but if younger students want to participate they may. All grades compete against one another. The study words for both this homeschool (school) bee and the Spell It list for the Cloverleaf Bee can be found at www.spellingbee.com. The username is shaynes@homeoftheshamrocks.org, and the password is spellit. (spell it but without a space). Click on Student Materials to download the lists. Students should be prepared to know the entire list, not just their grade level, though this Homeschool Bee may not reach the most challenging 8th grade words. Open to all homeschoolers, you do not need to be a part of any specific group. This Bee is an excellent, friendly, non-stressful way to practice your spelling and learn proper Bee etiquette.
This Bee is different from the previously announced Homeschool Bee to take place in May in Coloma, which is competitive only within each grade level and does not advance to the National Spelling Bee or any other Bee.
Happy Spelling!
Sharon

3 Upcoming Glass Bus Tour
Glass & Glitz The Libbey Way
January 25
This Saturday tour is focused on glass. We will see important glass windows, buildings, art and more in both Michigan and Ohio in major and off-the-beaten-track venues. Our visit to the Glass Pavilion w/docent tour will show the best of the Libbey, a glass blowing demo, stop at Libbey Glass Factory Outlet, lunch at the Spaghetti Warehouse. We may also go to the Libbey House for a tour. And for kicks, a two-hour stop at Hollywood Casino. We will also view Tiffany windows in Toledo at places you would never visit on your own. This is really an amazing trip. The only thing that would make it better would be if Dale Chihuly would be on the bus ... but just maybe we can make a little bit of his glass magic happen just for you. $75/person For more info: www.steponbustours.com
