Although it was a short week, the Spark Studio learners were unstoppable, achieving and surpassing their goals with a SPARK of brilliance!
This week’s quest: ROBOTS!
Embarking on an exciting quest, Day One saw our young explorers diving into the realm of creativity and innovation. Armed with Magnatiles, nuts, bolts, and paper clips, each learner evolved into a master builder, crafting their own unique loose parts robots. It was a day filled with imagination and tinkering as metal and paper friends came to life in the hands of our enthusiastic learners!
The adventure continued on Day Two as we ventured into the Makerspace, uncovering so many hidden treasures. Equipped with cardboard and found pieces, our Spark learners worked their magic, turning ordinary items into extraordinary robots! The studio buzzed with excitement as creativity flowed through every corner.
In our quest to understand heroes and civilizations, we delved into the incredible life of Martin Luther King Jr. Together, we created a special “I Have a Dream” board, where each learner shared their unique ideas on making the world a better place. Witnessing the diverse perspectives of our youngest leaders warms my heart and inspires hope. One of the many notable dreams was, “I have a dream that everyone can choose what school they want to go to” and “I have a dream that a princess would give magic to everyone!”
Chilly weather couldn’t put a damper on our recess adventures! Indoors, the new gaga ball pit became the highlight of our week, turning our playtime into a FLURRY of laughter and fun. Dodging, ducking, and diving made every moment memorable!
To conclude our week of quests and adventures, we celebrated with a special Friday reward – Cloud Dough! Soft, fluffy, and oh-so-fun, it was the perfect way to end our week on a creative and sensory high.
A big round of applause to our architects, engineers, dreamers, and cloud dough sculptors! Your enthusiasm and creativity WARMED this ice-cold week.
