Passion Project Presentation Schedule

Today, we signed up for our Passion Project Presentations! Presentations should be between 5-10 minutes and should highlight what we wanted to do, what we did, what we learned, and what we want to continue to do. 

The purpose of Passion Projects, also known as Genius Hour or 20% time, is to allow students time to engage in the process of learning on their own. The goal is for students to feel empowered to continue their own interests, questions, and wonderings beyond their day to day. I am seeing some amazing ideas, lots of struggling, and awesome triumphs.

MLK Assembly

For the past two weeks, the whole 4th grade has been working on a common vision for our Martin Luther King Assembly. Today, we presented our assembly. Here is some of the feedback we have received from our audience:

2nd graders thanked us for reminding everyone that..

• We can always remember him.
• His words still travel through the wind and our world.
• Martin Luther King Jr. died, but his ideas didn’t.

Mrs. Rheingans said,
The children's words, art, and music touched me deeply. Truly magical, wonderful work!!

Mrs. Johnson Mounsey said, 

Beautiful assembly.  I was inspired and proud of all the children.  Many thanks for all the hard work and time that went into this.

Mo Copeland said, 

Absolutely. A wonderful, moving, genuine and heartfelt program. A ton of work--thank you. Mo

Passion Presentations

 

We celebrated our hard work this week with a series of presentations ranging from practicing skateboarding to creating a recipe book, from a research project on deep sea creatures to creating a fashion magazine. It was a wonderful exploration into our communities interests.
