It has been quite an eventful week in Spark!
It’s no secret that sickness has been sweeping through Spark lately. This week, we emphasized the importance of compassion and understanding. We talked about what “Do our best to be our best” means, and that our best efforts may look different from day-to-day and from person-to-person. This lesson in empathy has brought us closer together as a studio community.
One of the most exciting activities the children engaged in this month was creating their Hero Boards. These vibrant and personalized boards are a window into the unique personalities and interests of each learner in Spark. They are so excited to showcase them next week at the exhibition!
The days of warm weather are coming to a close, and we took full advantage of the sunshine. Outdoor playtime and nature walks have become a favorite part of the Spark routine. They have learned about the beauty of the natural world and the importance of taking care of the environment.
In Spark, we continued our journey of discovery through math, reading, and writing using Montessori materials. Each learner is making progress, and settling into the two-hour Montessori work cycle.
As we look ahead to the coming month, they are excited about the possibilities that await them in Spark, especially as they begin preparing for Halloween!
