Going to appeal.

Parents who mentioned that they submitted strong kids’ work. Please enlighten little more that what kind of work your kid did. Lego/maths sum/painting/writing

I submitted a parent referral packet before I learned my child was "in-pool". The work I submitted was closer to legos/painting than math sums. Things that show creativity and synthesis of information. I think his teacher submitted some math games (like Sudoku-type number puzzles). She sent them in pen pal letters last fall, and he would complete them and send them back. I don't know if these are the "right" work samples, but maybe they will give you some ideas. Good luck!![/quote]

Request a copy of the package from your school's AART (AAP resource teacher). It will include your kid's GBRS and the work samples the AART submitted for the central committee's review. Our AART had multiple work samples scanned and reduced so each page had actually 4-5 work samples. 2 pages of schoolwork (from Level II pullouts and in-classroom work) + 3 pages of parent-submitted writing. The school work was all done this year, so typed on the computer. The parent-submitted writing was all hand-written, with errors, so it was obviously my kid's work (and, frankly, less advanced than what the AART selected from the schoolwork). Only 2 math work samples, which was surprising as my kid is much stronger in math, but I guess it's harder this year to prove the kid did it all herself. Math samples were things that included a lot of writing to explain how she found the answers to the logic puzzles.  Puzzles such as these: https://www.mathsisfun.com/puzzles/index.html.[/quote]
