Cloverleaf GATEWAY students show off their passions at Genius Hour Expo

BY DONNA HARRIS [email protected]

It’s not often that one can learn about space, animals, sports, careers, wars, toys and science in the same place in the span of an hour. But Cloverleaf Elementary in Cartersville managed to do just that with its third Genius Hour Expo Thursday morning in the school’s media center. The 14 fourth-grade and 21 fi fth-grade GATEWAY stu- dents spent 60 minutes presenting the passion projects they’d been working on since September to their parents. “The kids get to explore their passions, and they’re able to utilize our gifted goals for creative thinking, problem-solv- ing, advanced communication skills and advanced research,” fourth-grade GATEWAY teacher Karen Farr said. The idea for Genius Hour came from Google, which would allow employees to use 20% of their time to work on a “pas- sion project” as long as it would benefi t the company, fi fth- grade GATEWAY teacher Leigh McClure said, noting one of those projects resulted in Gmail. “This is just a chance for our students to kind of follow RANDY PARKER/THE DAILY TRIBUNE NEWS that model, spend a bit of their day in GATEWAY focused Bethzy Ortiz, RN, right, and Ashley Allgood, RN, in the Labor & Delivery department at Cartersville Medical Center. on something that they are interested in,” she said. “Through that, we teach research skills. This culminating activity kind of showcases their advanced communication skills so that’s a good practice for them toward one of our GATEWAY goals.” Cartersville Medical Center seeks McClure said she and Assistant Principal Paige Bennett, who was a gifted teacher at the time, started Cloverleaf’s Ge- nius Hour four years ago, but the classes didn’t do the expo last year due to an “extremely busy” school year. community support for Level II NICU “And so far, the kids have continued to enjoy it and love it,” she said. “When they’re in fourth grade, they’re already think- BY MARIE NESMITH mothers and babies who might re- Newborn Nursery that has the “Once our team of physicians ing of what they might want to research for their fi fth-grade [email protected] quire Level II services after birth. capability of providing care for and nurses stabilizes the new- project so it’s just stuck with us.” “Using downtown Cartersville infants that are born at 32 weeks born and the decision for a high- This year’s expo included projects on such topics as space, To increase the quality of ser- as an example, the nearest NICUs of gestation or above and babies er level of care is made, the pedi- cats, electronics, wormholes, slime, Pablo Picasso, soccer vice to its “tiniest patients and are located more than 25-plus with a birth weight of 3.3 pounds atrician collaborates with parents history, World War II, air pollution, Mars, health care, drink- their parents,” Cartersville Med- miles away, requiring families to and above,” she said. “Level II to determine the most appropri- able water, teachers, pandas, the history of college football, ical Center is striving to add a travel a signifi cant distance from NICUs also treat moderately ill ate facility to which to transfer LEGOs, Pluto, the Revolutionary War and dancing.
