Spark Year 5. Session 2. Week 1

As the Sparks dove into their study of environmental science, learners leaned into their curiosities around nature in our outdoor courtyard by planting the Spark herb garden!

            

During work time, the Spark learners prepared for gardening by reading books and watching videos about plant needs and their life cycles. On Thursday, learners continued to explore how plants meet their needs, participating in a science experiment of capillary action! Learners hypothesized what would happen to the flowers when placed in colored water, and were excited to see their hypothesis was correct when the flowers started changing colors when they arrived on Friday, resulting in their theory.

     

               

For our Grace and Courtesy practice, the Sparks continued to engage in conversations around our circle guardrails and why they are important; focusing on giving kind, clear messages to friends who show they may need support. 

To end the week, Spark learners dove into their curiosities by creating a Friday Craft, digging deeper into the life cycles of a plant, and of course, moved and grooved into their Friday dance party!

      

Have a wonderful weekend!
