![Junior Justun Kim reads during the weekly designated independent reading time in teacher Melissa Laptalo's AP Language and Composition class. After much deliberation, the AP Language team is using a new system of grading coined as 'ungrading' that does not give assignments letter or number grades. According to teacher Alanna Williamson, the new system is designed to change students’ focus from just earning points to thinking about learning and growing. “It's a completely different way to reframe your thinking about your grade,” Williamson said. “It [the previous grading system] was very quantitative and this ‘Ungrading’ format makes you think about your skills on a qualitative level and how you're improving ... not how many points you need.” (Photo: Carissa Tsui)](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_3764-1200x800.jpg)

According to DreamCatchers program manager Fatima Sandoval, the magazines are composed of journalism stories written by the camp students and are a source of pride and symbol of achievement for DreamCatchers. "They [the camp students] were able to make their own magazine, which I feel like was a very proud moment, not just for the students, but for DreamCatchers," Sandoval said. "We still have them [the magazines] at our office displayed for anybody that walks by and wants to take some."

This was the second of three Quadchellas this week for Spring Spirit, which allowed student performers to show off their talents to their peers.
