Another exciting week has flown by in our Spark studio, and we’re eager to share the highlights of our learning adventures with you! Here’s a glimpse of what we’ve been up to:
Quest: Entreprenuership
In Quest this week, we embarked on some fun and engaging activities. First, we held a vote to decide on the recipe for our upcoming lemonade stand at the end of this session. It was a great exercise in making decisions as a group and considering everyone’s preferences. After the recipe was selected, we created a grocery list for our field trip to Trader Joe’s. Each learner took on a specific job for our grocery store excursion, and we are thrilled to report that everything went smoothly. Spark learners successfully gathered all the necessary ingredients and even paid the cashier the correct amount all on their own – a wonderful hands-on experience in real-world math and teamwork!
Civilization
In our exploration of civilizations, we delved into the Halloween holiday this week. The learners had a blast carving pumpkins, going on a spooky scavenger hunt, and reading myriad Halloween-themed stories. They have all decided these books should continue throughout November.
Writers’ Workshop
One of the most heartwarming moments of the week was when our Spark learners received letters from their parents. The joy that filled their faces as they read their “name stories” was heart-melting. They’ve even requested to reread these letters to the group each week AND are excited to write the next letter in the coming week.
