Genius Hour

Every Wednesday afternoon, we have Genius Hour! Genius hour is a way for kids to explore topics that they’re passionate about, create something that shows what they learned, and present their research to their peers.

This week, students began brainstorming possible topics as they explored books. They also began taking notes on their research.  We are excited to see these projects unfold!


In math, students have many opportunities to share their thinking.  Some students used our document camera this week for our math discussion on Wednesday.

We can……

  • make mistakes and learn from them.
  • share ideas and strategies respectfully.
  • agree and disagree politely.
  • change our minds.

  • listen closely to others’ ideas.
