[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We sent in a short book from a series our kid wrote that highlighted some of the concepts the AART's presentation said they looked for, a short writing sample that demonstrated problem-solving, and photo of the rotating art gallery (complete with museum-style labels) of their favorite projects that my kid keeps in their room.  None of them were created specifically for AAP.

[b]We submitted one earned award for an extracurricular that was rigorous and relevant to the criteria[/b].

If you look at the various FCPS elementary websites, a lot of schools post the AART's presentation with both positive and negative examples of work samples.  In general, completion certificates, answers that are merely correct, and participation awards aren't going to be very compelling.[/quote]

Just curious what a rising second grader could earn that would be relevant?[/quote]
It was a scouting program award that was the highest attainable at that level and required problem-solving and planning/implementation an age-appropriate project.  We provided some information about the project along with it for context.[/quote]
