Kyleann was the proud receiver of a Academic Award this year in Reading. We are very proud, but not surprised. She has accelerated in reading immensely over the past 2 years and absolutely loves it. :0) Over the past year Kyleann has really immersed herself into writing short stories. She signed up on a young author site where she can submit some of her work and have other teens read over, comment and give support on her stories. She also participated in a group called Smack Down where they competed with the other Middle School in Snohomish over a list of books both groups were given over the year to read. The group she was in got together once a week during lunch time and discussed the books on the list, ending in May with the competition. Kyleann's school won this year's competition by one point, close, but they did it! The group was so excited!
We are hoping that Kyleann will be willing to let us post some more of her work soon. Be on the look out for updates. :0)
