In March Kaylee decided to try "homeschooling" for a day - mostly she just didn't feel like going to school anymore. I told her that if she stayed home I was definitely going to come up with some work for her to do. She ended up writing and illustrating a story to submit to our local PBS Kids Writers Contest. About a month later we received a call from PBS letting us know that Kaylee's story had won third place in the Kindergarten division. She was invited to a celebration in honor of the winners.
Today was the big celebration. The children who won read their stories (which were projected on a screen) to the audience, received certificates and were given a fun prize package. There were also refreshments.
Kaylee was excited about the awards ceremony, but her most favorite part was that her story is now posted online for all to see. Congratulations Kaylee!
