Spark Studio, Year 2, Session 5, Week 24

As winter bids its farewell, we eagerly embrace the warmth and joy of spring here at Spark! The Spark heroes have been buzzing with excitement and curiosity, ready for the adventures that lie ahead. Let’s dive into the highlights of our recent escapades:

With the arrival of spring, we eagerly embarked on our Gardening Quest. Exploring the wonders of nature, we learned all about bottom-watering plants and watched with sheer delight as our grass-potted plants finally began to sprout and grow! This newfound growth fills us with hope and anticipation for our green-fingered endeavors coming up next session. 

The Spark family continues to grow! We joyfully welcomed two new friends into our studio, sharing our space with open arms. From exploring Montessori tools to introducing our studio promises and cherished playtime toys the day was one for the books! 

With creative minds at play, we delved into the realm of mysteries! Anticipation filled the air as we crafted intriguing crime scene scenarios, preparing for our upcoming exhibition. Together, we created a Spark studio fingerprint database, marveling at the unique patterns on each of our fingertips.

With a spring in our step, we showered our beloved studio with extra love and care. Together, we tidied up our creative space, ensuring it shines bright and welcoming for all who enter.
