Genius Hour Project Update: Basketball for a Cause
- What We Did This Week: Although this past school week was only three days long, the Basketball for a Cause project had a very successful week. On Tuesday, Millie took our day off and used it as a work day. She made 70 flyers to put in all of the 2nd-4th grade girls' Take Home Tuesday Folders. This is great as we have already had three girls sign up out of the twelve slots we have open. Also on Friday, we went to the Lower School and hung up some of our flyers to spread the word even more. We put a bright blue flyer by the student sign out sheet that way when parents come to get their kids, they will see our camp flyer.
- What We Plan To Do: This upcoming week is going to be a very important week for Basketball for a Cause. We still need to sit down and make lesson plans for our two basketball clinics. We need to figure out how to make the most of the hour and a half we have with the girls for each session. We do not want the girls to go home and tell their parents that the camp was boring. The next thing we need to complete by the end of next week is purchase snacks and waters for the camp. We plan to have a ten minute break within each camp so the girls can stay focused for as long as possible.
Genius Hour Project: Basketball for a Cause
- What We Accomplished This Week: This week was an extremely successful week for Basketball for a Cause! As we have told you in recent blog posts, we finally were able to present our basketball clinics at a Lower School Chapel this past Friday! This was a very exciting day for our project as it means we are getting closer and closer to the start of our basketball clinics. This week we also communicated back and forth with Dr. West (dean of the lower school) about any advice he had for our clinics. The advice he gave us was to be extremely detailed about our clinics to the parents and to have fun while working with the girls!
- What We Plan To Do: While we have accomplished a lot this week, we still have a lot to do in the coming weeks. We still need to complete our flyers to put in the girls' Take Home Tuesday Folders so they can tell their parents about the clinics. Another thing we also need to work on is the lesson plans for the two basketball clinics. Once we complete these two things, we can really focus on making this the best experience for the girls' as possible.
