Sensory Fun, Teamwork, and Global Breakfasts (Session 1, Week 5)

Hello Spark Tribe Families!

As our 5th week together comes to an end, it's been another exciting one full of learning, fun, and connection!

On Muscle Monday, Sparks engaged their senses by using their noses to smell a variety of "mystery" spices. The room was filled with curiosity and laughter as everyone shared what memories the different scents triggered. It was amazing to hear the unique and special connections Sparks made to certain smells.

For Team Building Tuesday, our Sparks were split into small groups to play an exciting game of Tweeky-Tweezers. They embraced the challenge, showing both teamwork and enthusiasm. Whether participating in the game or cheering for their friends, Sparks worked together to support one another.

On All About Me Wednesday, we explored breakfast traditions from around the world. Sparks had the chance to share what they eat for breakfast at home, and we had a great discussion about how different cultures start their day. It was both fun and eye-opening to see how diverse yet similar our mornings can be.

Thoughtful Thursdays had us diving into the concept of joy. After watching a short video on how to be joyful, we talked about moments in life that have brought joy, as well as how Sparks can help spread joy among their friends. The conversations were heartwarming and inspiring!

We ended the week with Read Aloud Friday, continuing our journey with "The Nocturnals" series, starting the second book, The Slithery Shakedown by Tracey Hecht. Afterward, Sparks had a discussion about standing up for friends in positive ways.

As we near the end of this session, we hope you have a wonderful weekend and can’t wait to see everyone back next week!
