The class I like the most is Spanish because the stories

we read are very good. My favorite story is the Little RedChicken because it has a lot of little animals in it. The

story is about a little red chicken that was picking at the

earth and found some seeds where her three friends

lived. The chicken asked her friends if they could help her

and they said no. One day the little red chicken made

some bread and asked her friends if they could help her

eat it and the pig said yes, the duck said yes, and the cat

said yes. The little red chicken said we will all eat the

bread. Melania Rocha, 4th Grade
