Spark Studio
It’s fall y’all! Learners will get to explore how food gets to their table by reading about and discussing all things harvesting. From learning about plant life cycles to understanding how food fuels their bodies, learners will try new foods, challenge their math skills using pumpkins, read and write about fall activities, and perhaps even learn to make their own lunch! During project time, learners will work in new groups, practicing team building skills while exploring interests and brainstorming project ideas. Amidst all this, Spark will take a trip up into the Washington Monument after the first sessions’ rich exploration of the structure. See you in session 2!
Discovery & Adventure Studio
It’s Election Season! Learners in Discovery and Adventure Studios will engage in a deep dive into the Democratic Process exploring the different ways they can share their voice, inspire positive change, and participate in the democratic process before they are old enough to vote! The Project and Writer’s Workshop and Communications challenge will create opportunities for learners to explore the three branches of government and their function, analyze the UN Rights of the Child, investigate the legislative research process, examine how art can be used in activism, and develop their persuasive letter writing techniques. At the end of this session learners will journey to Capitol Hill to deliver one pagers to Congressional Staffers and send a persuasive letter to a politician both advocating for a policy issue advocating for children’s rights.
Health & Wellness
“Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.” – Coco Chanel
Throughout session 1, we focused on belonging. Session 2 will be focused on “becoming”. The learners will take an introspective look at who they are through a values game, reflections on goals, abilities, and dreams. We will visualize the parts of ourselves that make up who they are. Then, we will take a “vibe check”, asking ourselves about the energy we put into the world and what energy we hope we are expressing to others. At the end of the session we will take a look at the story of our lives so far and make predictions about what is to come.
