Even though our book fair is a few weeks away, we are already in contact with Scholastic or at least the folks at Scholastic are in contact with us! Today I learned about a writing contest sponsored by Scholastic that appears to be pretty darn terrific if you'd like to go to New York City (with parents or a chaperon such as myself or your language arts teacher or maybe an entourage of all of us!) courtesy of Scholastic. The essay is a scant two hundred fifty words of a favorite book that will always be remembered and why.
It would seem the most difficult decision is choosing a favorite book and then writing succinct but eloquent words about reading. It looks like a great contest!
