School Contests

About a month ago my teacher told us that there was going to be a spelling contest in between our school and our sister schools. We had one last year to but I still wasn't good enough to participate. This year (and I am not bragging) I am one of the best in the class at Portuguese and I also spell fast, so I was the only one in my class that participated. Yesterday was the contest. We went to the main school which is in Vila Cova and there were lots of other kids there. They decided to start with the fourth grade and I was the first one. I got so nervous I spelled the first two words (which were the easiest ones) wrong, and then I relaxed and spelled the hardest one right! I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo mad with myself! Any way I came in fourth place.

Ciao for now!

    Great job, Brooklyn! I would be the same way, I get really nervous in front of people. Charis is doing pretty well in spelling... we try to have our own spelling bees, but it's a win-win situation when ya home school. Haha!
    Keep it up, Girlie! Love ya!
