I am passionate about each individual in my classroom and know it’s my job to nurture their genius so they can be empowered to change the world. I’ve learned that every child has a genius in them. They need the right tools and environment to express this . This is what we call Genius Hour. We were all given special talents. Genius Hour brings out those talents and gives each child the power to show their potential whatever that may be. In my class the students are given opportunities to use technology using IPads to help them learn more about a chosen topic to express their talents. Then they will be be given time to express their talents by sharing this with their classmates. They do this by presenting a poster, slide shows, or drawings on what they are experts on. First graders are continuing to develop reading strategies and the Osmo is one way to build a strong foundation and excitement for reading so they will feel confident when they research together.
