[quote=Anonymous]No, nothing wrong with extra active time. But when a week goes by without ‘any’ live math instruction because they go outside, then talk out the fighting that happened outside, then the teacher leaves for meetings…it does get to be a lot. But I digress.
As to your original question, we submitted some independently done home projects that illustrated creativity/deep thought in areas of strength. One was an invention that took into consideration the environment, economy, advanced math and science concepts to work out how it would work/be built/sold, etc. Another was a writing sample that was particularly creative and connected multiple subject areas. Not sure how much it helps because any home projects they probably assume the parents helped, but we applied during covid so it couldn’t be helped. Better would be a school project. The AAS coordinator said basically focus on your child’s strengths and find something that illustrates that without simple regurgitation of facts (so no math worksheets, for instance). They want to see deeper understanding or creative thought processes.[/quote]
