First Place Narrative by Levonia Cellicion "Some Same Things" It all started when I was about 4-5 years old when I started school. Preschool was my grade. All I remember was shapes and patterns were my favorite studies. I had a Cookie Monster blanket and always pretended to be sleeping during naptime. But the problem was I cried every morning because I didn't want to stay in school. The day I didn't cry was a really good day. Today I'm in the 4th grade, 9 years old. Now I like math and science. We don't have naptime, but I still have my Cookie Monster blanket at home. And I don't cry! When I'm older I'm going to graduate high school and go to college. I'm going to study home economics or to be a banker. I'm planning to have some children, a husband, and I'm going to still live in Zuni, with my Cookie Monster blanket! |

Second Place Narrative by Kollin Bowannie "The Beginnings of a Future Fisherman" When I was five years old, my dad said, "Let's go fishing," so we went. We got our fishing rods and we went to the truck. We got to the lake and we got our rods out and went to go fish. I went a long time, then my dad said, "I got one!" It was a rainbow fish. I said, "Cool," and went to get one. So I went a couple of hours and then we had to go. We walked and I put my rod in the water. A few minutes later, I got one!! I said, "I got one!" It was heavy. My dad said, "I'll help you." We got my 5 feet long fish and we went home. The End |

First Place Poetry by Arin Peywa "Yesterday" When I was small I used to eat beans but when I grew up I didn't like it anymore. As I get older I will probably eat a lot more beans. |

Second Place Poetry by Tamara James "Today" Today I came to school and I almost fell asleep. In Religion we were talking about the Messiah. We picked our ornaments: I got a yellow snowman. Then we went to Library. I checked out Caddie Woodlawn by Carol Ryrie Brink. Tomorrow, I will do what my ornament says to do. And with my book, I will read 4 chapters. |

Third Place Poetry by LaTonia Latone "Yesterday" Yesterday is the time that I will remember. Yesterday I fell off my bike. It was my first time. I barely put my feet on the pedals. That's because my Dad was holding on to the bike. I thought I was riding the bike but my dad was taking me. I will remember when I was four. |
