Hello All!
Hope you all are enjoying this beautiful October weather!
Enrichment has been going extremely well, and I am greatly enjoying getting to know all of you!
Currently in 6th grade, we are working on our Genius Hour projects. Last week, we completed and signed our Genius Hour Contracts which locked in our topics, how we're presenting it, and when we'll present.
We are also continuing with our Acceptance Unit. Currently, we are working individually or in small groups to explore past historical events. Each group picked a historical event of interest, will explore the topic, and then present their findings. They will also be presenting examples and nonexamples of acceptance during this particular time period. Some of the topics being researched include: 9/11, women's rights, Civil Rights Movement, slavery, World War II, Pearl Harbor and Japanese Internment Camps, and the list goes on!
On Thursday and Friday, we reflected on our first 9 weeks as 6th graders and made goals for the new 9 weeks. I will be checking in intermittently throughout this 9 weeks to keep track with our progress on the goals.
Just wanted to send an update your way!
Thanks!
