4th Grade and Genius Hour

Fourth grade has launched into a new unit called Genius Hour.  In this unit, we explore a topic of our choice to plan, pitch, and present.  We are spending some time learning about what really makes us think-what we are passionate about!  In order to find a topic that has meaning for us, we are learning more about what we are interested in so that we can focus on a realistic choice.  We are using a program called Thrively to help us narrow down our search.  Thrively also gives us opportunities to learn which careers we may be the most interested in and activities that we can do online that may spark our interest in something.  Once we've browsed Thrively, we will use a March-madness type bracket activity to narrow down topics even more.  Mrs. Imrie will conference with students, asking focusing questions as well.  We look forward to finding our topics and making a difference through Genius Hour!
