BURST of Genius: Lava Flow Impact on the Big Island

This year, students in 5B have been exploring their individual “pops of genius” by exploring their passion during Genius Hour ➗ 2.  Their efforts produced great presentations, feature articles, and even poetry as students realized that sharing their ‘ike (gained knowledge) and mana’o (thoughts) can make a positive difference….that their passion and learning mattered!  (Shared in previous posts)

The students began researching the current lava flow affecting the island after receiving great questions and collaborating with our Burley 5th 302 friends in Chicago, but then wondered what they could do if they collaborated with each other (all 24 students) on one “BURST of Genius!”  Teamwork is valued in our class…many heads are better than one!  Every voice counts in our class, together, they can change the world!  Click on the hotspots above to see the “genius’ at work!”  Together, We Can!  E hana püala kåkou!
