Discovery Year 6. Session 5. Week 2.

In Week 2, Heroes made their first moves in the new studio game: Discovery Mountain! Through Socratic Discussion and Discovery Mountain challenges, learners reflected upon their responsibilities, their habits, and their studio systems.

WORK CYCLE

In Math Power Hour, Discoverers reflected on their progress toward their math goals for the Session. Learners who are on track toward their goal discussed their choices they’re making that are leading to success and celebrated their hard work with the community. Discoverers also collaborated with Explorers during the Montessori work cycle and found flow in DEAR.

QUEST

Week 2 of Survivor Quest centered on water and identity as basic needs for survival. Discoverers researched parts of the Water Cycle and created water filtration systems from coffee filters, rocks and gravel. In Socratic Discussion on Friday, Heroes shared their defining traits before painting their traits onto stones. To land the week, learners discovered their love languages!

WRITERS’ WORKSHOP

In Session 5’s Writers’ Workshop, Discoverers will be researching Heroes in environmentalism. Learners completed a K.W.L. chart as a studio to share what they already know and what they want to learn about the environment before beginning research on the environmentalist they selected. At the end of the week, learners completed their K.W.L. chart, sharing what they’ve learned so far.
