Hello Sparks families,
This week was packed with energy, creativity, and meaningful exploration as the Sparks continued to shine in session two!
Art Monday brought movement and expression to life as the Sparks discovered how different dance styles can be a powerful form of self-expression. They embraced rhythm and creativity, then put their listening skills to the test with an exciting round of the dancing game Follow the Leader. In the afternoon, focus turned to craftsmanship as Sparks added the final touches to their hero boards and worked diligently to prepare the hallway for next week's gallery showcase.
Team-Building Tuesday started with a burst of imagination and collaboration. Sparks donned their engineer hats and took on the challenge of building dream houses using toothpicks and marshmallows, discovering the joy of teamwork and innovative thinking. The afternoon brought a reflective and artistic twist as Sparks crafted scrapbook-style New Year collages using magazines and newspapers, envisioning their hopes and goals for the year ahead.
Wondrous Wednesday introduced the story of basketball’s invention. Sparks explored how this beloved sport began and how it has evolved into the global phenomenon we know today.
On Thoughtful Thursday, deep reflection took center stage. Sparks confronted three “monsters” that sometimes disrupt growth: distraction, victimhood, and resistance. They courageously examined which monster they encounter most and brainstormed strategies to overcome it. Later, Sparks showcased their dedication by practicing and presenting updated routines for the upcoming talent show.
Finally, Fitness Friday was a celebration of physical strength and resilience. The morning kicked off with a high-intensity workout, setting the tone for an active day. At noon, Sparks embraced the cold weather and ventured to Alpine, finding joy and adventure in the outdoors.
We’re looking forward to an exciting final week of session two. See you next week!
