In SLL we are doing a contest. It is for the Saint Jordi holiday. If you win first place, you get a book and a rose, second place, you get a book, third place, you get a rose and fourth place you get a special mention.
OH! Silly me, I forgot to tell you what the contest is! It is a poem contest and whoever makes the best poem wins. It is broken into grade groups. Third grade is doing one kind of poem and the other grades do different poems. I am doing a calagram (a poem that is a picture in words )about the minotaur. And I am pretty sure that I will at least win third place because I am not up against anybody who is hard to beat. I am up against Layne and Gianni and a bunch of ELL kids. Now let me tell you why I got this contest in the bag: 1. the ELL kids come here twice a week and they don’t know a lot of spanish 2. Gianni probably won’t be done in time and he doesn’t know quite as much spanish as I do. Layne is a problem but I don’t care about the rose I care about the book! So I don’t care if I don’t get first as long as I get second.
Now a few days have passed and today I did my final touches on my calagram like coloring it in and drawing the face. I can’t wait to find out what the scores are. Anyways, the ELL kids couldn’t finish in time so I am only up against Layne and Gianni. I got some bad news today: we are going to have to impress the judges to get a third place and if we get a strict judge we won’t even get a second place.

Now the big day is here the places are… 1.Layne 2.me 3. Gianni 4. none Well good job Layne! I really don’t care about the rose so might as well won first place. And really I would be fine if I didn’t get anything because the books in Spanish so it probably will be hard to understand. At least for me that is. The book is a Geronimo Stilton book called: A LAS OCHO EN PUNTO… ¡CLASE DE QUESOS!! Here is it’s cover: |
