Welcome to Our House "Where Character Matters"
Dear Botsford Families,
Our Botsford Learning Fair is Tuesday, June 12th. You may have heard your son or daughter talking about a passion project that they are working on at school. Here is a step by step guide to the passion project process:
1. Introduction to students as to what a passion project is.
2. Students will be asked to choose a PASSION and then make a PLAN.
3. Teachers will act as mentors and advisors through this process - working closely with each student as they identify the area they wish to explore and pinpoint the steps that they might take to fully realize a project that they’re excited to share.
4. Through this project students will discover that learning can be fun.
5. Students become the experts and INVITE their families to come to the Learning Fair to hear about the projects.
Many life skills will be learned through this process such as building confidence, sharing and listening to others, and learning that failure is just a way for us to learn to eventually succeed. A video staring Kid President is included below. He provides us with a little pep talk and challenges us with the question "What will you create to make this world AWESOME?"
