The Discovery Studio was filled with creativity, teamwork, and celebrations as our heroes took on a variety of exciting challenges and activities this week.
We launched the hero board challenge this week. The heroes dove into the researching phase of gathering elements, reflecting on their hero’s journey, and refining their ideas to ensure their boards truly represent their personal journeys and answer the question, “Who am I becoming?” This task requires focus and creativity as the heroes work diligently to bring their visions to life.
The heroes also completed and submitted their Lip Dub video to the global annual Acton Academy lip dub challenge! This project was a labor of love, involving choreography, and plenty of energy. The submission marks the culmination of their first week’s worth of hard work, and Discovery heroes are all eagerly awaiting the results! Heroes at Acton Academies across the globe will vote on the submissions.
In art this week, the heroes began working on a community mural project. This hands-on, collaborative project encourages creativity and cooperation as they brainstorm and come to agreement on different elements they would like to include in the project. It’s amazing to see their innovative ideas and how they support each other through the process.
A Special Birthday Celebration
We also had the joy of celebrating a hero’s birthday this week! Discovery heroes planned a special surprise, coming together to create a memorable experience for their fellow hero. Discovery heroes made a special birthday binder filled with heartfelt birthday cards. For the celebration, we sang the Montessori birthday song, “The Earth Goes Around the Sun,” and reflected on the hero’s journey throughout the years. The hero shared his favorite memories and milestones from each age, highlighting special moments that shaped his growth. It was a beautiful moment of community and kindness, and we had a wonderful time celebrating together.
