Remember, think about what you want to do for Genius Hour, pick a club that will help you accomplish your goal.  You can see the new club descriptions below.  It will help if you ask yourself - if I could learn anything I wanted that they do not teach me in school it would be..... Think of 5 things, keep these in mind when choosing clubs tomorrow!

The Book Nook Advisory will allow you the time to enjoy what novel YOU want to read at your pace. We can enjoy reading outside or inside with partners or in solitude.

You will have assignments in selecting songs from specific hip-hop categories, such as songs from your birth year or songs that have a choreographed dance. Toward the end of the 6-week term, we will be writing our own hip-hop songs and performing them for the class. This would be great to use for your Genius Hour/iShowcase presentation.

Homework Club - Are you busy with after school activities? Here is a chance to get your homework done! No homework? Then here's your chance to enjoy a good book!!

From playing these games, students will work to develop/invent their own game. These games can be board game style or coded online games.
