Sparks Tribe Celebrates Gratitude, Creativity, and Community Before the Holiday Break (Session 2, Week 5)

Dear Sparks Tribe Families,

Though our time together was brief, it was filled with creativity, gratitude, and meaningful connections! Here is a recap of our week:

On Art Monday, the day began with a launch exploring the connection between feelings and colors. Sparks reflected on how different hues can represent their emotions, using this insight to create self-portraits. In the afternoon, work continued on Hero’s Boards. Those who had already completed their boards eagerly stepped in to assist others, embodying the spirit of collaboration and support.

With the holiday approaching, Tuesday transformed into Thankful Tuesday. The morning featured a team-building game, followed by a heartfelt circle discussion where everyone shared what they were most grateful for. The afternoon brought hands-on creativity as Sparks crafted festive turkeys using paper towel rolls and construction paper. The joy and pride in their creations were unmistakable.

Wednesday was a day of teamwork and celebration. Activities kicked off with stations designed by our learner-led school council, fostering a strong sense of community. The day culminated in our school feast! It was a beautiful way to wrap up the week together.

Wishing you a joyful and restful holiday break!
