Week 7

✨ Summer Sparks: Week 7 ✨

From fireworks to fresh starts! 💛🎆
We hope your holiday week was full of memories — and now we’re back with a new spark of fun, kindness, and connection to carry you into mid-July.

📸 Holiday Highlights:

Did your family celebrate July 4th with a picnic, fireworks, or something totally unique?
We’d love to hear about it — and see a photo if you’re willing to share!

🎨 Spark of Creativity: "Holiday Moment Jar"

Decorate a small jar or box and invite your child to draw or write one special moment from this past week — big or small!
Pop it in the jar and keep adding all summer long. Great for back-to-school reflection! 📝

💛 Kindness Challenge: “Surprise Clean-Up”

Encourage your child to quietly clean up something — without being asked.
✔ A shared space
✔ A car seat mess
✔ A sibling’s snack wrapper
The best kind of independence? Helping without being told!

🎉 Last Week’s Riddle Answer:

What goes up but never comes down?
🎈 Answer: Age!

💡 Shoutout to Cooper, Abhay, Ria, and Saindhavi for your spot-on answers — Cooper is our GT teacher’s son and clearly inherited that brainpower! 😄
And a big cheer to Saindhavi again for her rainbow-and-hearts Freedom Flag artwork! 🇺🇸🌈
