This week the Spark heroes took their detective science quest outdoors to take advantage of the sunny days and hone their observation skills to solve a mystery. Spark learners used their keen eyes and sharp minds as they studied objects, recalled details, and uncovered missing items. Working together as a team, they identified the culprit by deciphering clues from eyewitness reports about the suspect’s appearance. It was a collaborative effort filled with excitement and discovery!
In our exploration of civilizations, we learned about all about leap year and why we have an extra day this year. To commemorate this extra day, the heroes crafted our very own leaping frogs. Inspired by the tale of “The Ants and the Treasure,” the children created their own treasure maps filled with hidden surprises. To close out the week, we read the enchanting story of “The White Butterfly,” and the heroes crafted beautiful mosaic butterflies, each one a unique reflection of their imagination and artistic flair.
Amidst all the learning and adventure, our spark learners took on a challenge of their own. With nearly three full sessions under their belts and the goal of 12 bees in sight, they boldly voted to raise the stakes to 15 bees, all in pursuit of the coveted Friday reward. Their determination and enthusiasm were truly inspiring!
Let’s not forget the icing on the cake – or should we say, the icing on the BIRTHDAY cake? This week, we had the joy of celebrating a fellow hero’s birthday in the studio! The day was filled with love, laughter, and plenty of songs of Happy Birthday.
