Year 4 - Session 7 - Week 1

Happy Last Session

We had several heroes out throughout the week as a severe cold is making its rounds. Heroes that did make it to school were introduced to the final quest of the year - Growing Curiosity! They began to researching passions and interests online to decide on their focus for the session.

In Communication, they gave a drumroll when Mrs. EB announced - Creative Writing!! They were thrilled to get to take off on their own and begin dreaming. They played several games (SCOOT and Quiz Down) to practice grammar rules in sentence writing.

Spark heroes ready to transition over to Discovery visited for a few days to shadow the heroes during lunch and quest. They will visit with their parents and guides to make their decision for next year!

New Council was voted on, and they chose Trinity, Lydia and Halle.

Studio Servicio Sorting Hat Ceremony took place after Adventurum was announced the winner of last session and chose their new jobs!

The relay Teambuilder - toe hopping, butt jumping and knee walking was a hit Friday morning to get the heroes moving!
