We are excited to share the latest news from Spark! This week was filled with creative activities, learning adventures, and the excitement for the upcoming Halloween Holiday! Here’s a glimpse of what we’ve been up to:
Writer’s Workshop: Love Letters
In our Writer’s Workshop, we’ve launched one of the learners’ favorite projects: Love Letters! Every two weeks, Spark heroes will write a letter. At the end of each letter, the children will ask a question to the recipient. The idea is for them to create a meaningful connection with those to whom they write.
The prompts encompass a wide range of questions, from asking about their parents’ or guardians’ childhood to their favorite colors, foods, or animals. We are excited to witness how this seemingly simple activity will mold our studio discussions.
Through Love Letters, Spark learners are discovering the connections between generations, the beauty of shared memories, and the subtle ways things change over time. These letters serve as windows to their thoughts, enabling us to explore differences and similarities and will capture who they are at this stage.
Quest: Creating A Lemonade Stand Brand
This week the Quest challenge encompassed image and branding. As a team, the children explored what a brand represents and how it can make a product or service stand out.
They designed logos, crafted slogans, and even came up with swag ideas to make their lemonade stand truly special. This hands-on project allowed them to understand the importance of branding and teamwork while having a lot of fun along the way.
Civilization: Discovering Diwali and Making Lights
The Spark heroes traveled to India in their Civilization lessons, delving into the vibrant and joyous festival of Diwali. They learned about the traditions, customs, and significance of this festival celebrated by millions of people. To make the learning experience even more memorable, each Spark learner had the opportunity to create their very own Diwali lights.
