Parker's Reflection

    Our project is about building  a city. We worked hard on the city. Building houses, I think the hardest one is to make a light in the city.  The easiest part was the bridge.  It was hard to figure out the plans. We learn how to build bridges too. We learned how to build roads. We learned how to build gas stations.  i like Genius Hour because you get to build things and  you get to work on projects.   You get to build things and set up stuff. My favorite part is people will get to see it. I like that it is a challenge.

I have a lot of fun playing soccer.  I wanted to make a mini soccer game that would be fun to play.  I created my little game with a cardboard box and some paper people.  I think this game is going to be fun for people to play in pairs or by them selves.  They can kick the soccer ball and try to score a goal.   I had a lot of fun with Genius Hour.

After the research portion of the project, the students how to chose how to present their information. Each student decided what they wanted to do.  Some explored iMovie and made incredible videos. Others wanted to dive into Google Slides and make a presentation.   We even had some Bare books created that will be in the library for the check-out rotation. ...

I made a cardboard city.  A cardboard city is made up of houses, bridges, and other buildings.  I liked Genius Hour and had a lot of fun.  I also gained a new best friend, Parker.  I like building and learned to have patience.  I loved Genius Hour.
