You're in luck! 17 Fun Activities to Celebrate St. Patrick's Day

Engage students with GPB resources MARCH 2018

2018 PBS KIDS Writers Contest

All K-3 students in Georgia are encouraged to participate!

It's time to sharpen those pencils! GPB invites Georgia students in kindergarten through third grade to create a great story, illustrate it, and enter it in our PBS KIDS Writers Contest.

Stories can be fact or fiction, poetry or prose, and will be judged on originality, creative expression, storytelling, and integration of illustrations. A first, second, and third place will be chosen from each grade level. Additionally, three stories will be selected for the STEAM Award if their story effectively incorporates science, technology, engineering, arts, and/or mathematics.

The deadline for submissions is March 31, 2018.

The contest is supported by a robust set of resources for children, families, and teachers, including activity sheets and checklists to inspire children during the brainstorming process. For more information, go to gpb.org/writers-contest.

The game is aligned to Georgia's latest math standards and Georgia elementary math teachers were included in the development process. GASHA GO! is designed to work across web and mobile platforms and is available online and via mobile devices at gpb.org/gashago.
