We had our reciting competition yesterday. In Polish. Fabian was reciting Lokomotywa by Julian Tuwim. Very nice poem. Marta trained him. She did it well. She put a lot of effort in it. And it showed.
The competition was big. 29 kids. No small feat. Fabian was a little nervous, but he tried his best. I loved watching him. He was looking around. Eye contact was great. Because of his nervousness, I think he under performed a little. His vocal variety wasn’t there completely. And 2nd part was a bit weak.
So he did not win any prizes. It was sad to see him up there, epecting something. But I think it was a good experience. I am proud of him. He accomplished his goal and got the job done. What else can we expect?
