premise: Each 4th and 5th grade classroom would have their own spelling bee 3 days in a row . Then the 3 winners in each classroom would spell off . When each class had a winner , all those winners would spell off and that winner would move on to the next level . Not only did I win the spelling bee in my class , but I won all 3 days so there was no spell off in my class and I advanced to the overall 4th and 5th grade spelling bee . Why will there be spelling bees in the classrooms ?
hypothesis: To make the students engage in competition .
