This year we are starting a new activity called "Genius Hour". Right now we are learning how to work together as a team. Eventually the students will research about something they are passionate about. Our activity this week was to take a hula-hoop across the room only using 2 finger tips of each person in the team. There was a tight part where they really had to be careful. If they used more of their fingers or let go they had to start over. We were racing in teams and being timed.  We had a great discussion on using every member of the team, balancing the size difference of the students and how high the hula- hoop needed to be and how effective a team leader is who listens or takes over.  We had a great week.
