The Epic Beginnings Resource Library contains materials that focus on such skills as early childhood literacy, communication, math and science, nutrition and overall well-being services that place a strong emphasis on learning through play and development of the whole child.

راپور ورکول At Epic, learning goes far beyond the classroom! Our academic enrichment activities are designed to spark curiosity, boost confidence and provide exciting opportunities for students to grow—both academically and socially. These engaging experiences allow students to dive deeper into their interests, challenge themselves in new ways and connect with fellow learners across the state. This year, students can look forward to: Spelling Bees, Epic Innovators Day, Virtual International Bees, Living Wax Museum & Read Across America Week, and Scholastic Book Fairs. Whether your student loves science, history, literature or a bit of everything, there’s something for everyone! Jump to: Spelling Bee | Epic Innovators Day | Living Wax Museum | International Academic Competition | Read Across America ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT EVENTS AP ۱۴۰۴ سلواغه ۷ Tulsa Innovators Day - Science Fair, Inventor Fair, STEAM Learn More & Register 3810 S 103rd Ave East Tulsa, OK 74146 SPELLING BEE LEARNING OUTCOME Epic is thrilled to partner with the Scripps National Spelling Bee platform again this year. By inspiring the exploration of words, the Scripps National Spelling Bee illuminates pathways to lifelong curiosity, celebrates academic achievement and enriches communities. All Epic students in grades 1-8 are invited to participate! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1. How can my student prepare for the spelling bee? There is a word list for each grade level that students should study prior to the event. Students will be provided the word lists once they register. Scripps also has apps available for Apple and Android users that can be found below. NOTE: It’s best practice to study your grade-level words along with the grade level above yours. If your grade-level competition continues beyond your grade-level words, the next grade-level words will be used. For example, a 3rd grader should study both 3rd -and 4th-grade words. It is a good idea for each student to be familiar with every word on each grade level list. Download Scripps Word Club app Open App Store Open Google Play Store 2. What happens if my student misses the first word in the competition? Unfortunately, even if a student misses the first word in their round, they will be eliminated from the competition. 3. Will there be any words given during the competition that aren’t on the grade-level study list? Yes. The study lists are meant to be a starting point and do not contain every word that will be given during the competition. The WORD CLUB app is a great way to take your Spelling Bee study sessions to the next level. IMPORTANT NOTE: Students will compete in one of three regions: Oklahoma City, Tulsa and Amarillo, Texas. One winner from each region will advance to the next phase of the competition. The winner in Oklahoma City will advance to a regional qualifier competition, where, if they qualify, will go on to compete in the regional competition. While the Tulsa winner will advance directly to the regional competition, the winner of the Amarillo competition will advance to the regional competition there.
