Check out this small video clip of the process at Washington School for this year’s Virtual Spelling Bee. The students waited in the gymnasium and then entered the band room to recite the word from the instructors in the library through the Jamboard/Google Meets. The students watched the contest from their classrooms. The Spelling Bee will continue on Monday, March 29th and the winners will be announced!
