Mabel Elizabeth Singletary shares what inspired her to write book number 3 in The Young Conquerors Series - There Are 2R's in Tomorrow.
Last week, the annual spelling bee took place and there were some surprises. When it was over, Abby was glad to find out that she and Cee Cee were not only friends, but as Cee Cee said, "We're best Friends!"
In Chapter 12, Abby was amazed that she was one of four spelling bee finalists from Mrs. Bellamy's class. And while she couldn't predict the outcome, she was happy to know she had made it this far.
In last week's episode, Abby saw a surprising event unfold. Debbie was out and Cee Cee would now be participating in the school-wide spelling bee if she became one of the four finalist from Mrs. Bellamy's class. Then, a big announcement from Mrs. Bellamy caused all of her students to eagerly look forward to the annual school event.
In our last episode, Abby and Cee Cee found themselves in the elimination rounds for the school-wide spelling bee. But when an unexpected delay caused the finals to be put off until the next day, Abby was glad to to know she would get some extra time to prepare.
Last week, Cee Cee found herself labeled a cheater by her classmates. Abby couldn't understand why her friend didn't tell Mrs. Bellamy who the real cheater was. She hoped somehow Cee Cee would still be able to participate in the school-wide spelling bee because Abby knew Cee Cee was probably the best speller in Mrs. Bellamy's class.
In Chapter 8, Abby and Cee Cee found themselves surprised that Nisha and Debbie had turned the tables on them to the point that Cee Cee was now the person in trouble with Mrs. Bellamy. Abby vowed to make sure Mrs. Bellamy will know the truth about what really happened to her special spelling book.
Last week, Debbie agreed she would confess to cheating in the spelling bee. Both Cee Cee and Abby were glad because neither of them wanted to tell Mrs. Bellamy about what had happened. While they didn't know what to expect when they returned from recess, Cee Cee and Abby knew they didn't want to be in Debbie's place and have to face Mrs. Bellamy with such terrible news.
In Chapter 6, Abby asks Cee Cee to help her win a blue ribbon. Cee Cee agrees to help her friend and decides to share a secret she's been holding inside. After talking with Abby, Cee Cee understood what she knew she had to do.
In Chapter 5, Cee Cee found herself surrounded by her classmates who accused her of lying. Abby insisted they leave Cee Cee alone. However, Abby knew at that moment she would not be welcomed in Nisha and Debbie's group of friends. When Cee Cee suggested she and Abby be best friends, Abby was happy because everyone knows best friends often share secrets.
In Episode 4, Abby's grandma dropped her off at Debbie and Dawn's home for the twins' birthday party. Abby was glad to see Cee Cee when she arrived, but she was annoyed that somehow Nisha had once again made herself the center of attention. However, Abby was just as shocked as everyone else when Cee Cee snatched the attention away from Nisha by making a shocking announcement of her own.
Last week, Abby got what she considered an unexpected gift. The math relay game that Mrs. Bellamy had posted on the blackboard was suddenly cancelled. Abby saw the cancellation as a win that for once went in her favor.
In Chapter 2, we learned that Abby hates Spelling Bees. She even has a special name for them, Spell Outs! She calls it that because as much as she'd love to win a blue ribbon, being the first student in her class to get called out always gets in the way of her dream.
Last week, we met Abby, a fifth grader who secretly wants to know what it feels like to win a spelling bee. There's just one problem-she thinks she's the worst speller in her entire class.When Abby is picked to be a Classroom Buddy to a new student named Cee Cee, she puts aside her dreams of winning a blue ribbon - at least for one day.
The Thomas Edison Elementary School-wide spelling bee is coming up. Fifth grader Abby wonders what it feels like to win a blue ribbon in Spelling. There's only one problem - she thinks she is the worse speller in Mrs. Bellamy's class. When she makes friends with a new students named Cee Cee, Abby learns that part of winning is believing that special help with come if she has the faith to ask for it.
In this episode, Children's Author, Mabel Elizabeth Singletary shares her thoughts on writing Just Jump! which is book one in the Double Dutch Club Series.
In Chapter 14, the girls finally got their chance to compete, and they didn't disappoint. All of their practices and preparation had paid off. They were going to be one of the top five teams to compete in the Free-Style Fusion portion of the competition. The winning team would be declared Best in the Show.
This is an encore presentation of Chapter 1 of Just Jump! from The Double Dutch Club Series.
In Chapter 13, the girls were feeling the pressure of entering a real competition when they saw so many other teams. However, when Nancy suggested they "look up" when they jumped. The idea seemed to help take away some of their fears.
Last week, the girls arrived in New York City. They were excited and amazed at the sights. Nancy and Ming were especially moved when they saw The Statue of Liberty. Wanting to make this experience a time to remember, Coach Hughes had the girls get together for a special team and family photo.
