Kaitlyn and Makell both entered the Reflections Contest this year at school . This years theme was; "Diversity is..." After talking about it with them, they decided to enter the 3D visual arts category with an idea in mind. As we talked about how our extended family is very diverse, they came up with the idea to make salt dough people that related to our family. The diversity in our family consists of Navajo Indian, Pakistani, Samoan, Korean, and Caucasian. After being judged in their age group Kaitlyn was awarded 1st place in her school! Her project will go on to the district level for judging! Makell was awarded 2nd place in the school as well! They were so excited to hear the good news! Fantastic job girls!
Kaitlyn came up with the idea to show diversity of people surrounding the world. I love what she wrote in her description that she turned in with her project. She said, "Even though we all look different, come from different places, and do different things, we really are the same." :)
The rules stated that they could not have help from anyone. With Makell being in Kindergarten, this was her first contest to enter. I was so proud of her! I love her salt dough people! Especially the one with a toothpick sticking out of it's head! lol! :) I am so proud of the girls and their hard work and creativity! Good job Kaitlyn and Makell!
