Feb 1 blocks 4 and 8

Today we introduced Genius Hour.  This is a time, each Friday for you to explore something that you are interested in.  We talked about the timeline for this. We will wrap this project up on April 15th

We watched a video on what genius hour is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COF-bqZuE-I

We discussed what genius hour is and isn't (see picture below) and we went through how to create a THICK QUESTION.

You were also given the criteria for this project (how you will be graded) and this is pictured below too.

We also got our textbooks from the library

On the sticky notes you were using the prompts: I learned.... I can.....
