I recently read an article about other teachers and students who are also involved in genius hour. Even though our project is set up differently I still learned a few things that I would like to incorporate into my project. With my genius hour project, I am working with plants. If my plants end up dying, which I hope doesn’t happen, I have made a backup plan. I will dry out the herbs and then give away little bags of them with recipes they can be used in. I also was reminded that this is MY project and I can decide if I want to alter the plan or not. The article talked about how excited the students were to work on their projects. I realized that I get excited too when I go to check on my plants and water them! I think it is because I feel that something(the herbs) needs my help and attention to survive and I want to help them!
This Week I continued to water, trim, and feed my plants. They are getting bigger and I believe it has to do with the fancy light I got them. I started to look up recipes and environmental tips to attach to the herbs when I give them away. Next Week My goal is to keep the plants alive! I will continue watering, feeding, and trimming them as usual until November 5, when I start to give them away!
