This week has been a blast as the heroes geared up for the Lemonade Stand Off! After learning and debating about what roles they would need to run the stand, everyone took on a different role – from drink tenders to money managers. Get ready for a lemonade stand extravaganza that’s not just about drinks but also about life skills in action.
But it wasn’t all about business plans in Spark this week. The heroes also took time to earn some “studio bucks” which they will use to “purchase” their lemonade stand supplies, by cleaning up leaves around our building and picking up trash in the neighborhood and park. We will be taking every extra opportunity to soak up the sunshine while it lasts!
Collaboration was the name of the game this week as the heroes dove into Montessori materials. Some teamed up to crack problems, while others played the guide, helping out buddies stuck in a tricky spot. Teamwork makes the dream work, right?
We’ve also been chatting about being mindful of what we say. Our focus? The “5-second rule.” If the thought in our head is something that the other person can’t change in 5 seconds, it may be better left in our heads. It’s been wonderful to see everyone getting the hang of using a filter, especially when it comes to speaking kind words.
Speaking of kind words, every learner is stepping up to hold each other accountable. The vibe is all about kindness and looking out for one another. It’s heartwarming to watch.
Stay tuned for more updates on our journey!
