UPDATE for 2011-2012 year:
This year's Homeschool Spelling Bee will take place on Saturday December 3, 2011.
Homeschool bee held at Calvary Church 1230 Rugby Road in Schenectady at 10 a.m. Spellers should arrive by 9:45 to register and get preliminary instructions.
Spellers do NOT need to register in advance. We ask that parents of spellers contribute $2 per speller (maximum of $5 per family) to contribute towards the cost of heating the building for the bee and to provide a small prize for our winner and runner-up.
This year's bee schedule has been moved earlier in the year due to the scheduling of the Times Union/Capital District BOCES bee deadlines.
Excellent free study materials from the Scripps Spelling Bee are available here.
Answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about our homeschool spelling bee are available here.
The FAQ will answer many of your questions about eligibility to participate, how to prepare, and what happens next for the winner of our homeschool bee.
If you have additional questions after reading our FAQ, please feel free to contact me.
