Mrs. P's 'Be A Famous Writer' Contest

Nice Job! Three of The First Ten!
Earlier this year we discovered the website MrsP.com and during some of our dreaded "excessive heat days", we listened to Mrs. P read us a story from her magic library since we couldn't go outside to recess. We discovered she was hosting a writing contest and the students were eager to enter! The first ten students per age category to enter Mrs. P's 'Be-A-Famous-Writer' Contest won a prize! In our class we had four students that were within the first ten to enter nationally! They won an autographed book from Mrs. P! She also sent the rest of the class gold coins and bookmarks for their hard work. 
Our class was also the first to enter the contest as a whole class, so Mrs. P. sent us a big box of goodies including an autographed photo! Students wrote a short story as a class assignment as part of a writing unit and we entered them in the 'Be-A-Famous-Writer' Contest.
Thank you, Mrs. P! We had a great time writing the stories and the students are enjoying their awesome prizes!

    So happy to see you enjoyed the coins and books from Penelope! We were so happy to join forces with MrsP Be-A-Famous-Writer this year and offer Penelope books to the early entries - and LOVE to see smiling faces! Great work everyone!
