Hola!

On Friday, Ame went down to BYU for the Language Fair.

A few select students from each grade level, in the

Spanish Immersion Program were selected

(they had to try-out)

to join a team to represent our school.

Each student had to do something independent,

Ame did a "show and tell", all in spanish of course,

and they were also involved in a group skit.

They have had to go to school early 3 days a week

for the past 6 weeks to practice, and she

has spent a lot of time at home memorizing as well.

They had to be at the school bright and early

in the morning, 6:30am!

She was sooo excited for this day.

Here's Ame and Taelynn, on their way...

waiting for their turn...

getting ready to perform their skit

She had 2 parts, here she is one of the bugs,

and she also had another cool mask to play the part of The Wind.

Ame and Emma (she is one of her good friends in third grade)

Grandpa came with dad to support Ame.

Mom just thought it would be TOO MUCH to

drag all our boys to this even EARLY in the morning.

I was sad I couldn't go, but grateful QUinn was able to.

We are SOO extrememly proud of Ame!

She worked so hard to get ready for this,

and unlike the majority of the other students involved

this is her first year learning spanish.

She got a rating of EXCELLENT-they were graded

on projection, clarity of speech, pronunciation

and a few other things I can't remember. Ame you are OUTSTANDING!!!

We love you precious girl
