Genius Hour Week 5

This week I am continuing with crocheting my blanket. I find crocheting very relaxing as I can work on my blanket while I watch a TV show or listen to music. It is great to relieve stress from school work!

Last week I reflected on my commitment do make a blanket and stated that I know I will not be able to complete it.

I currently have 6 rows completed. Each row takes over 1 hour to complete.

I continued to reflect and I were to implement Genius Hour into my classroom, I will know that some students will require a lot of time to complete the projects they want. However this will help students learn time management skills and adjust their schedule/project accordingly.

This week, I sent my sister a picture of my blanket so far. She stated that she really liked the color I chose. The yarn I used was given to me by my grandmother. She knows that I enjoy knitting and has given me lots of yarn and knitting needles in the past. I feel that knitting, crocheting and yarn has created a bond with my grandmother that I cherish greatly. I cannot wait to show my final product to my grandmother using the yarn she bought for me (whenever I finish it)!

For next week, I will continue with my blanket!
