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

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
