Enlightenment through LUCE: Literary Understanding and Cultural Exposure (3)

Thursday was another exciting day at school. The day before, we learned a nice surprise from her Teacher Karen. Apparently, Luce was among the 5 representatives of Prep Pace for the Spelling Bee. They were to compete with 5 other students from the other Prep section, Gioia. Instead of her usual noon appearance at school, she had to be there in the morning for the contest. Come dismissal time, she shared, “Hindi ako nanalo, eh. Pero may prize ako!” and showed her pencil and eraser, apparently consolation prizes for the non-winners. She misspelled the 4th word, she said – shAwer instead of shOwer. Still, that was a fun experience!

Friday, they had a book picnic in school. Luce borrowed Ate Gaby’s little mermaid mat and brought her Eldar pillow and apple slices for snacks. They watched a video, read the books they brought earlier that week, and had fun fun fun!
