Looking for help! My principal asked me to look for some information about what a "Genius Hour" would look like for younger grades, 4K through 3rd grade. I have some ideas about what I would want to do for preschool, but I'd love input from others. Here is a little background. We are a smaller parochial school in rural Wisconsin. We don't have a ton of "extra" money, but can often get church members or school families to buy some things for us. My principal would like to implement this school-wide, she is a former 4th/5th-grade teacher. We have some teachers who are very "old school" and this will be difficult for them as far as its open-endedness.
I'd love links to articles that give the how and why if you have any! Thank you in advance for your input!
