[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you all so much for the input and suggestions. I appreciate it. We will be traveling out of the country Dec 15 to mid Jan 16 and we will have very short time after our return to prepare for the referral. I am hoping I can hear back on more [b]examples of act[/b][b]ual work samples and recommendation letters please[/b][u]. Just what you all may have included in the referral packet. Thank you again.[/quote]

This is what I don't understand.  Would you really now submit your kid's response to "I see math" or the perfect vacation as others have mentioned?  Are you planning on doing the precise work with your child?  If not, then how does someone else's precise work sample help?  If so, how is that showing YOUR child's ability (as clearly you would be guiding him in some way)?  For my DD I submitted work samples which I thought were good, but I would never precisely state what they were on here.  You are clearly just trying to figure out what worked for others and then copy it which I find incredibly odd as it relates to your own child's individuality.[/quote]

I think OP can guide her child to answer open-ended questions without dictating the result.  That's the point of "open-ended."  It's also exactly what the AARTs are doing with groups of kids.  The AART has a discussion about a book or invention or idea and then asks the children to respond to that idea/book/invention/concept.  I understand your concern that OP not dictate what her child's work products are, but I disagree with your supposition that a parent can't/shouldn't guide a child into making a "work sample" for the purpose of AAP.
