Five of Laura's books won the Newberry Honor Award (On the Banks of Plum Creek, By the Shores of Silver Lake, The Long Winter, Little Town on the Prairie and These Happy Golden Years). The reason none of her books won the Newberry Award Medal is that she had finished the books before the Newberry Award was created.
If you mean the Newberry Award, she recived it for two of her books (maybe more), but I'm not sure when.
The Newberry Award, she also won a caldecott award.

A Newbery Medal is awarded annually to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children, whereas an Honor Book is a runner-up that stood out in the selection process but did not win the top prize. The Newbery Medal is generally considered the highest award for children's literature in the United States.
