And the winners are…

I had a very hard time choosing the winner for our lunch with the author contest. I read so many great comments on the blogs and received several hand-written letters as well. I had such a hard time that I selected 8 students for the luncheon. The winners of the contest are:

Lance 409
Gurleen 506
Grace 405
Taryn 408
Brady 306
Karan 506
Lilia 407
Harley 507

Congratulations, and I will see you for lunch on Tuesday with Carolyn Crimi!

Your Library Lady,

Mrs. Matzat

Win lunch with Carolyn Crimi!

On May 12, Carolyn Crimi, the author of my favorite pirate book Henry and the Buccaneer Bunnies, is coming to visit our school! Six lucky kids have a chance to win lunch with Mrs. Crimi! To enter the contest, you need to write a good descriptive paragraph to me telling me why you think you deserve to have lunch with the author. Here’s what you need to do to enter the contest:

1. Write your persuasive paragraph. Make sure you include specific reasons why you should get to have lunch with her. Be convincing! Type your paragraph in Word and save it so you don’t lose your work.

2. Copy your paragraph and paste it into a comment on this blog post. Your teacher or I can help you do this if you do not know how. Remember to use our Internet safety rules and only post your first name and your room number.

3. Submit your paragraph before the end of the day on Friday, May 8.

4. Check the blog next week to see if you are one of the winnners.

Good luck and have fun!

Mrs. Matzat
