Wow, time flies when you’re having fun! It’s hard to believe that we’ve already reached the end of our first session. This year has gotten off to an amazing start, filled with exciting discoveries, meaningful connections, and loads of fun.
During this session, one of our main goals was to build strong relationships within our studio. The learners are forming friendships and bonds that will continue to flourish over the course of the year. Our studio has also undergone a cozy and colorful transformation. Our learners have unleashed their creativity, decorating our space to make it feel inviting. It’s safe to say that our studio now feels like a second home!
The heroes’ exploration of Montessori materials has been exciting to observe. The learners have eagerly dived into new Montessori works, igniting their curiosity and kindling a passion for independent learning. We’ve also introduced “Drop Everything and Read” (D.E.A.R.), which has quickly become a favorite part of their week!
The journey is not just about academics though. We’ve also focused on important life skills such as problem-solving and active participation in discussions. These skills are essential for success in various aspects of life, and we will continue to nurture them throughout the year.
Speaking of important life lessons, each Spark learner has had the opportunity to explore different jobs within the studio. This has been a fantastic opportunity for them to grow, learn about teamwork, and provide support to the community. Even if not every job was a favorite, they all embraced them with enthusiasm while keeping our studio nice and tidy.
They are looking forward to the next session as they embark on the “Build a Business” quest. They are especially looking forward to our very first field trip to Trader Joe’s to purchase supplies!
Stay tuned for more updates as we dive into the next session!
