Sparks: Session 3, Week 3


This week was filled with exciting challenges, creative projects, and thought-provoking discussions. Here's a glimpse into the adventures Sparks had during their third week of Session 3!


Math Monday started with the story The Last to Finish: A Story About the Smartest Boy in Math Class. The tale sparked a heartfelt conversation about timed tests. While some Sparks shared they wouldn’t be bothered by a ticking clock, others expressed how it might cause stress or frustration. Later that day, the group embraced their inner engineers by designing rocket ships using paper, tape, and straws. The challenge to create a rocket that would soar the highest and longest brought out innovation and a touch of friendly competition.


On Tinker Tuesday, Sparks explored the concept of excellence with a thought-provoking conundrum. They considered various perspectives on what makes something truly excellent. In the afternoon, the creative juices flowed during writer’s workshop as they began crafting their own picture books.


Engineering Wednesday introduced hydraulic systems, giving the Sparks a hands-on opportunity to explore this fascinating technology. The afternoon featured an exciting team challenge: designing a pulley system to save animals from a flood. Teamwork and ingenuity were on full display!


Thoughtful Thursday centered around the question, "What makes a good friend?" Sparks shared diverse answers, leading to a rich and engaging discussion. Later, they dove back into their picture books, with some even starting a second one.


Fitness Friday wrapped up the week with a lively dance workout. Sparks worked together to synchronize their movements, fostering team spirit and camaraderie. By the end, they nailed the routine as one unified group!

We’re proud of their creativity, resilience, and teamwork. Can’t wait for next week!
