We are going to use that questions in times where we are flummoxed, frustrated, stuck, or just looking for inspiration.
Today, we asked ourselves, if we are truly going to be Awesome Geniuses, what does that actually mean? To answer that question, we are going to look to our hero Kid President. Is he a genius? What makes him a genius? We hope to answer this and more.
We realized that genius is more than just being intelligent. Some people (and dogs) are geniuses without having a really high IQ. We also think that being a genius doesn't necessarily mean that you are infamous. We decided that everyone is a genius. It just may be that we haven't had the time to develop our genius.
Today we boiled down genius to these seven words: curiosity, passionate, perseverance, adaptability, imaginative, self-aware, and courageous. Over the next few days, we are going to figure out what these words actually mean.
What makes Kid President a genius?
We also learned what an even number is and why 1.50 is not an even number even though you could share it evenly between two people. Do you know what an even number actually is? We've been playing a simple but challenging game called "Guess My Number". Students have been figuring out which "yes/no" questions are the most helpful. Try playing at home? We have been picking whole number between 0-10 000 but some have been playing with a smaller range as well.
Terry Fox Run is this Wednesday and the school continues to collect Toonies for Terry. Please help us reach our goal and bring in your donations to school tomorrow.
