Sept 21-25

Eagles have been hard at work these last 5 weeks learning Acton expectations, traditions, and systems.  Sometimes, even creating their own! 

Every Friday, Eagles hold a Town Meeting. During this time learners get the chance to submit problems, solutions, encouragements, or frustrations they are having in the studio. 

Last week during Town Meeting, an Eagle expressed concerns over dishonesty and suggested a solution.  The last few days, the Eagles have been working hard to create and implement their own "Ticket" system to hold one another accountable. 

At the end of the day, Eagles discuss promises they wish to have as a part of their Studio Contract for the year.  This will be signed by the Eagles at the Exhibition, with the promise to follow and uphold their contract. 

In art, we have explored our creativity by creating suncatchers and toilet paper roll creations.  They chose to have a competition based on the most creative and well designed piece.  Congratulations Layla! She won with half the Eagle's votes with her dragon from Rescue Riders! 

Sharks and Minnows was a hit this week in PE and the Eagles love doing conditioning at the middle school track! 

Our goal this session continues to be creating a tribe where Eagles feel welcome, loved and seen.  We have been spending many hours a week on free play, game time, and team building. 

 

The first week of school, team building challenges left many Eagles in their Panic Zone- frustrated at their fellow Eagles and the task.  Now, it's amazing to sit back and watch them work together to complete a challenge!  (Ask your Eagle about the blanket challenge they were able to complete!) 

Next week begins our preparation for the first Exhibition! The Eagles are excited to showcase their hard work and show you around their studio.
