Dear Parents,

This term in English students are learning to develop their sense of curiosity through the process of inquiry. We have been busy practicing how to ask deep questions of inquiry during our “Genius Hour” time in class. “Genius Hour” is time set aside each week where students can study what they want to learn, something they are passionate about and or a new skill. “Genius Hour” sparks curiosity and students learn about something they are personally interested in.

I thought “Genius Hour” time would the perfect time to complete their Identity Fair Project (a school wide event in June). Most of this will be done in class, however depending on topic of inquiry students may be required to complete their project at home as well.   I have asked the students to research a topic of study that they have always wanted to learn more about. Your child has narrowed down their topic and has written the “question of inquiry” they plan to answer on their planning page. I encourage students to document the process of learning throughout their research using a journal, field guide, photos, etc. Please take the time to sign and read their proposal and discuss any changes you might suggest to help them with their project.

Also, note that any materials needed to create their project must be brought to school beyond what I can provide from school (ie. stand up presentation boards, any unusual materials they might need if they plan on making something, etc…). Materials do not need to be at school yet, as we will be only starting the research portion of the project next week.

Thank you for taking the time to review your child’s Genius Hour project proposal.

Have a great Easter long weekend!

Mme N. Homeniuk
