I can't really say much more than that I agree wholeheartedly with this blog post and I really wanted to share it with the parents of my students. I don't believe that I could say it better than Dr. Justin Tarte says it on October 17th, 2014 in his post "What if this was your district's grading policy?" . The thing is I work in an amazing district and it is our grading policy. It's much longer and has a lot more words, but we are lucky that this is our grading policy and this is what we really and truly believe at a district level. I am proud to work for this district that I do. As one of my wise students said today "As long as you're learning, it doesn't matter how."

3-D Name Designs 8th Grade
Well I am back from my week long hiatus with my sick son. He is doing much better but we still struggle every night and he is definitely worn out by the end of the day. I am definitely looking forward to the days of finally being able to sleep through the night.
I am proud to post these wonderful 8th grade pictures of their 3-D pieces and apologize for not getting them posted sooner.
For this project we made the letters in our names look 3-D. The inspiration for this project was from this video on YouTube How to Draw 3D letters. Then we carefully copied the process using our own names. This proved to be a difficult experience and took many sheets of paper to finally get the perfect letter. Here are some of the students who worked tirelessly at getting their name perfect. I am impressed with how well they did. Every student should be proud of their work on this project as it was a hard one to start the year with.
Students were graded on the following criteria:
- Did the letters look 3-D, were the lines drawn correctly for the illusion
- Craftsmanship (was it done neatly)
