Poetry Slam

Jeff Foxworthy is a stand-up comedian with the Blue Collar Comedy Tour (which also includes Bill Engvall, Ron White, & Larry the Cable Guy; the latter played Tow Mater in Disney Pixar's Cars movie) & is currently the host of 'Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader'. He has also written a number of books including the 'You might be a Redneck if .....' series, & his latest venture is the 'Silly Street' book series for children. To celebrate this, there was a poetry competition for 3rd Grade classes held by the local Barnes & Noble bookstore. Students from each 3rd Grade class (there were 29 classes in total) had to submit a poem about their street. The winner of each class would move on to the final at the bookstore poetry slam. Beth was the finalist for her class & did a really good job of reading her poem at the Slam. There were three runners-up prizes (a $10 bookstore gift card) & three winner's prizes of a signed copy of Jeff Foxworthy's new book. Beth did really well & won a runners-up prize!
