Today the article that we read was about the Genius hour project. It gave examples on teachers who led a class on Genius hour and gave their children the opportunity to do whatever they wanted to. The article talked about ways to sell the idea to parents so they would understand what their kids were doing in the classroom. Selling it to students was a main topic also because some students were set in their ways about assigned assignments and a teacher telling them what to do instead of the Genius hour project where you were the teacher and could pick what you wanted to learn more about. The article gave an overview on what teachers were doing and actually what Genius hour is. This article showed me that failure is okay. Not everything that I am going to try to do will come out perfectly. I can work around my failures in my own project and drive my ideas a different way to suit the challenges and failures I will face. I will approach my own Genius hour project with the mindset that things are not set in stone and I can mend the flaws and work around them. Failure is not a bad thing. It can change your project in a way you did not think of approaching it and make it better.

10/7/2016 0 Comments Blog Post #1: Making a PlanIn the month of October I plan to research as much as I can about our environment we are surrounded in and post ways we can influence it in a positive way. I want to get those facts out their so people will be more self conscious about the little decisions they make everyday that impacts the world. In the month of November I plan on working with our Environmental club to help around our school. I am a member of the Environmental club and they do many great things to help out around the community and help our planet. Just the little things like putting recycling bins around the halls can make an impact or do monthly bins that have a certain thing people could donate like old eye glasses. In the month of December I wish to do fundraisers and raise money for habitat for humanity and other things around our community that can benefit others. Also I would like to set up a group that after the basketball games would help clean up the bleachers and trash that people leave around our school. This is my itinerary for the completion of my project by January 10th, 2017.
