ELA & SS are getting a makeover!
Learn about our new name...
Your Kids are Geniuses!!
Genius Hour, 20% time or Passion Time... For one hour every week, students have the opportunity to follow their own passion and learn about something that matters to them. Students have been researching a topic of their own choosing in depth during Genius Hour. The idea is that we cultivate the genius in each member of our classroom community and all learn from one another. Helping students learn research skills in the context of their own passion project seems to be a great fit for everyone. Students are learning about a range of topics from music to film to architecture to social issues and medicine. One of the most exciting (and unexpected) parts of this work for me is has been hearing students contemplate possible career goals. Ask your child about his/her Genius Hour project!
