Week Nine

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.
