Spark Studio, Year 2, Session 1, Week 3

The Spark heroes created a mural this week to brighten their studio.

The Spark heroes wrapped up their “All About Me Boards,” Part 1. This project allows the learners to showcase their unique personalities and interests. It was a blast seeing their creativity shine through!

They have also been diving into a treasure trove of books, sparking their imaginations and fostering a love for reading. And they have said that Montessori core skills is one of their favorite parts of the day.

In the spirit of teamwork and respecting guardrails, the Spark heroes earned a whopping 10 bees, leading to a special Friday treat – a mural painting session! They are so excited to have a mural to brighten up the studio.

In addition, Spark had their very first town hall meeting, where the learners shared their thoughts and ideas on how to make our community even stronger. And guess what? The young innovators brainstormed and implemented a new system to keep the community free time area tidy and inviting for everyone. It’s amazing to witness their problem-solving skills in action!

Thank you for your support and encouragement. We are looking forward to more exciting adventures in the studio next week!
