Genius Hour

This term we are trying something exciting and new. We have launched something called "Genius Hour". To see the handout that students received, check out this link here. 

Genius Hour is simple. Students are asked to find something that they are passionate about, or interested in, and learn about it. There are three rules:

1. All projects must be approved by me. 
2. All projects must include research, with proper citation. 
3. All projects must include a presentation of what you have learned. 

I have added (and will be continuing to add) a whole bunch of information on Genius Hour to the tab at the top of the page. You can also click this link here. 

Students are currently brainstorming for ideas. Please take a few minutes to ask them about what they're interested in pursuing for this project. 

A BIG part of Genius Hour is trying to connect students with specialists in a variety of areas. Students are looking into a whole variety of information. I'm hoping that our parent family, and your connections will be able to help us to connect students with "Geniuses" in various fields. I put together a quick survey for parents and would love it if you could spare 3 minutes to fill it out. I've embedded it below. (You'll have to scroll through to access all of it.) 

If the embed code doesn't work, you can also access it here.
