Spark Studio, Year 2, Session 7, Week 36

What an exciting week it has been here at Spark Studio!

This week, the heroes practiced memorizing their parents’ phone numbers. They brainstormed reasons why this is important to know and when they might find it useful to have.

The children had a fantastic time welcoming Ms. Olivia, a forest school guide, for a hero talk, and learning about the amazing plants around our school. They even got to take a closer look at pollen under a microscope! It was amazing to see such tiny things up close.

The heroes finished the week learning about the upcoming holiday, the 4th of July, and creating USA door hangers. 

With only one week left in Spark Studio, the children have expressed mixed feelings. They are excited about summer adventures ahead, but also sad to say goodbye to their friends. They committed to making the most of their time together for the last week.
