This article is about how genius hour has been incorporated in other schools. It starts off by giving an example of a student who is incredibly passionate about her genius hour project and is sad when school is cancelled because of a snow day causing her to miss genius hour. It says projects teach kids to learn from failures and what is important is that one learns and reevaluates. Genius hour can also be tough to sell to parents and administration but even parents are seeing the positive effects genius hour is having on students. Teachers can at times have difficulties monitoring so many different projects but with one on one meetings they are able to keep up and manage everything. This article is inspiring and can be applied to my own genius hour project by motivating me to keep on task and work hard.

I intend to accomplish hosting three softball clinics for younger kids. Abby, Sydney, John, and I are all working together to plan this and carry it out. We each will be focusing on a different component of the game. The first clinic will be around December, a second one will be held around February, and a third one will be held in the spring around April. At these clinics we will each focus on our part of the game and the kids will rotate through stations. We will also charge $5 per kid and donate all the money made towards the Kingsford Softball Program.
