Genius Hour
Students in Mrs. Larsen's Homeroom will be participating in a Genius Hour project of their choosing over the next 6 weeks. Genius Hour is an idea originally taken from Google's 20% Time Project. This project will allow students 1 hour each week (Tuesdays from 9:30-10:30) in our homeroom class to work on whatever project they choose. Students are allowed to work alone or with 1 partner but no more than 2 people per project. There are guidelines for idea submissions and check in points along the way with me to keep students on the right track. One of the biggest components is presenting their project at the end of the 6 weeks. This project gives students a lot of freedom in their own learning and allows them to do something at school that THEY are passionate about. Students know that 90% of the project must be done at school so please allow them to bring necessary supplies on tuesdays. If you have any questions about what your student is doing or is/isn't allowed to bring to class please feel free to contact me.
