    Welcome to our Classroom Website
    About Ms. Nelson
     

          Hello, my name is Katherine Nelson, this will be my 3rd year working in the Anoka-Hennepin district, teaching 6th and 7th grade art at CRMS, and 7th and 8th grade art at OVMS. I also co-run the after school Art Club at Coon Rapids Middle School. I received my Bachelors of Science in Art Education from the University of Wisconsin Stout, graduating magna cum laude on December 13th of 2014. My fiance and I live in Maple Grove Minnesota with our dog Emma. I enjoy riding motorcycles (as a passenger), doing photography in my spare time, traveling, working with animals, and just being outdoors as much as possible!

     
     
     
    Thank you for supporting your student's education! I am excited to work with your child and watch their growth. Together we can help your child achieve success!

  • Art Grading Scale for Assignments and Projects

    Final Grade will be based on:

    70% Summative Projects 

    20% Summative Assignments

    10% Common Sumative Assessment

    Formative Activities will not count as part of the total grade.

    We will use a "Holistic" Grading System

    4 (100%) - Mastery

    3 (90%) - Proficient

    2 (85%) - Developing

    1 (75%) - Basic

    "I" for incomplete (60%)

    "M"  for missing or not turned in work (50%)

    There is no Extra Credit

    No letter grade except for the final grade

    No points lost for late work
