The heroes kicked off a new session this week in which they are exploring the “Survivor” quest!
This week, the heroes delved into Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and explored the difference between wants and needs. It’s fascinating to understand how little we really need to survive! They applied this new knowledge to the real world, learned about foraging and sustainable food sources, and even created their own field guide for the local area around them.
A big thank you to Captain Kraft, who gave a hero talk and shared insights into her life as an army medic. It is inspiring to learn about real-life heroes, their challenges and adventures!
In World Cultures, the Spark learners read about the celebration of Ramadan. They crafted lanterns together to learn about the holiday’s traditions.
Spark Journey Meetings are scheduled for the third week of the session, on June 10th – 11th. It’s a great opportunity to reflect on the heroes’ learnings and growth over the course of the year. Academically, through Montessori works, many have excelled tremendously in math, reading and writing. Socially, all have grown as members of the the Acton community!
