Sparks: Session 6, Week 2

Dear Sparks Tribe Families,

We’ve wrapped up a memorable second week of Session 6, and we are so proud of the heart, creativity, and resilience our Sparks have shown each day. Here’s a glimpse into all the learning, sharing, and growing that took place throughout the week!

✨ Memory Monday We started the week with the colorful and clever story The Day the Crayons Quit. After the read-aloud, Sparks dove into meaningful discussions about times they felt like giving up and what it felt like to push through challenges instead. They also reflected on how it feels to receive help, and shared stories of moments when someone’s support made a difference for them. In the afternoon, Sparks focused on their Memory Books, exchanging stories and laughter as they wrote and assembled pages filled with memories and art.

🌊 Water Tuesday Tuesday brought ocean energy as Sparks explored topics like ocean waves and tsunamis. The morning launch sparked an exciting engineering challenge—what could be built to protect a town from a tsunami? Sparks brainstormed ideas and put on their engineering hats, thinking critically and creatively about safety and design.

🎶 Sing and Dance Wednesday The Tribe brought the energy on Wednesday as Sparks took on a choreographed dance challenge before House Cup. Their focus and enthusiasm were so strong that 

they even had time (and energy!) for a second dance. It was an inspiring display of teamwork, rhythm, and joy!

📝 Reflection Thursday On Thursday, Sparks took a meaningful look into their futures. The morning launch invited them to imagine what they might do when they grow older. After watching a short video of young people writing to their future selves, each Sparks took on the challenge of crafting their own letter—a message full of dreams, hopes, and thoughtful reflections. The afternoon brought more time for Memory Book work, with creativity and connection continuing to flow.

🏕 Alpine Friday We ended the week with a focus on teamwork and cooperation during our Friday launch. Sparks leaned into collaboration, communication, and kindness. Later in the day, they took on Cooking Quest, teaming up to create trail mix together. It was a fun and flavorful way to close out a fantastic week.
