“
Boys and girls,” said Ms. Charlton, “we are going to
have a spelling bee next Friday. There will be a winner
from this class. The student will go on to compete against
other students from all of the fifth-grade and sixth-grade
classes at Jefferson Elementary.”
“
A spelling bee,” thought Sally, and then she
sighed
.
She was a hard worker, but she definitely was not the
smartest student in her class. She
glanced
at Annika, who
was smiling. Annika was probably thinking about the big
trophy
she would soon win because she won everything.
Sally never won anything.
