Revel Recap: April 8 - 12, 2024
Spark Studio
Mindfulness
Welcome to Session Six! The Sparks were energized and excited to share how they spent their time during the break by illustrating and writing about all the fun things they got up to! Then, we introduced them to the website Explore.org, which has live feeds of animals in their natural habitats worldwide. This week, we are focusing on reptiles in Quest, so the Sparks settled on watching some crocodiles for the day. As the Sparks have always dreamed of having a studio pet, they were excited to make up some names for them and check throughout the day what the crocodiles were up to! On Tuesday, we completed special Magic School Bus colouring sheets. As the Sparks entered the studio on Wednesday, they were greeted by a delightful sight: plants wearing sunglasses, lamps with hats and shoes on the walls, and Squishmallows wearing jackets. This unexpected twist brought out many laughs and joy. We then read the story Wacky Wednesday by Dr. Seuss. After the reading, the learners paired up and found all the wacky creative things scattered around the studio. On Thursday, we started the gloomy morning with Boomwhackers. As the Sparks continue practicing they are trying more challenging songs such as "Banana Boat!" The Sparks began Friday with a thrilling fitness game, Here Comes the Gator. Transforming into frogs, they leaped from one end of the gym to the other, relying on their quad muscles to propel them forward while evading the hungry alligator. With each jump, they embraced the burn and occasionally looked for a break by hopping into a hula hoop sanctuary. This engaging game not only challenged their physical strength but also sparked joy! We will definitely be playing this game again in the future!
Quest
Jump on the Magic School Bus with the Sparks and prepare for an eventful six weeks! The Sparks will take chances, make mistakes, and get messy throughout the session! With Ms. Frizzle, the Sparks adventured to Herp Haven, a spa for reptiles. Together, we decided to lead a rescue mission and learned about reptiles and how they move from place to place to get comfortable because they are cold-blooded. Ms. Frizzle turned the Sparks into some reptiles; ask your learner which reptile they turned into!
On Tuesday, the Sparks gathered to fill out a KWL chart. While they already knew quite a bit about reptiles, they wanted to learn how reptiles get venom and where they live. By the end of the week, they could happily tell us about rattlesnakes, how turtles lay their eggs in the sand and leave their babies behind, and that lizards have scales called lamellae that help them crawl. Following the KWL chart, the Sparks reviewed an alligator's life cycle together. We read the story, Who Lives in an Alligator Hole? by Anne Rockwell. Once we had puzzled together the life cycle in its four stages, we conducted an experiment. The experiment focused on why other animals depend on the alligator hole. We poured water into a bowl of dirt and noticed the water evaporated throughout the day. We also discovered that when an alligator discovers damp muck, it begins to dig. Soon, the hole fills with water a few feet deep, and then a lot happens! For example, fish and insects lying dormant in the wet mud wake up and lay eggs, and eggs hatch into more fish and insects. When one species changes the environment for its own use in a way that helps other plants and animals, scientists call it a "keystone species."
Wednesday was dedicated to Rattlesnakes versus Emerald Tree Boas. We discovered that both live in a different environment; rattlesnakes live in meadows, swamps and grasslands, whereas emerald tree boas live in a rainforest. The rattlesnake eats small mammals, and sometimes birds, and emerald tree boas also eat birds but enjoy lizards and monkeys.
Thursday, we started our afternoon sorting furry and scaly animal friends into their respective groups and found many reptiles. Afterward, we got into a groovy rhythm to learn the "Reptile Rap" song, using the catchy "Jack and Jill" tune to guide our melody. The learners then sketched out their imaginative visions inspired by the song's lyrics. But the fun didn't stop there! We also uncovered three fun facts about reptiles: chameleons, the ultimate fashionistas, change their skin colour to communicate with each other, lizards love their dry skin, and, surprise, surprise, most reptiles have tiny holes as ears.
To end the week, we performed an experiment called Excellent Egg. The science behind this experiment is that reptiles' eggs have a hard, leathery shell that is tough and helps protect them. In contrast, amphibians' eggs are much different. They generally do not have any soft or hard shell but a soft gel surrounding their eggs. Also, reptile eggs are typically laid on land or kept inside their bodies until they hatch. Amphibian eggs are usually found in water or damp places. A hardboiled egg still intact in its shell was placed in food colouring, and once the shell came off, there was little to no change inside. When the hardboiled egg, without its shell, was placed in the food colouring, the inside and outside of the egg turned green like water. The Sparks developed a hypothesis, made observations and discussed their conclusion throughout the experiment.
Math
"Where's Pochi!" This interactive game had the Sparks embark on their new, exciting world of location and movement for this session's math concentration. They used identifying positional vocabulary as they spotted Pochi, the dog, in various places throughout a series of slides. From in-between to behind, they worked together! Following this activity, the Sparks completed a read-and-draw exercise, putting their newfound knowledge into practice. With instructions such as, "Draw a rainbow below the sun." or "Draw three flowers in-between the doghouse and the tree," they used creativity while solidifying their understanding of positional concepts. During Friday's work period, we focused on a solid 45-minute period of using the math material on the shelf and using their Singapore Math books. Materials such as the snake game, addition boards, and counting chains were all used. This period was full of eager learners working independently on goals they chose for themselves. Way to go, Sparks!
Readers Workshop
A new session calls for a new book study, Diary of a Worm. This book's main character, the worm, goes through life telling stories of the humorous, high and low points of being a worm. This story will give the Sparks new respect for worms as they imagine themselves in a worm's life. To start the study off, we reviewed the title page. What can the title page tell us without reading the story? Who the author and illustrator are and when this book was published were all important questions asked. They filled out the important information they discovered using their Diary of a Worm journals. Following this, each learner was given their own diary for writing on Fridays at the end of the day. They will be sure to add the dates and follow the prompts provided.
Art
With brushes in hand, the Sparks dove into the world of sea turtles. They read the story Sea Turtles by Laura Marsh to kickstart their art period. As the Sparks listened, they discovered that there are not just one or two but seven species of turtles inhabiting our oceans. Each turtle has unique characteristics, from the leatherbacks to the flatback sea turtles. Surprisingly, not all sea turtles have hard shells, which shocked the learners, who also discovered that the Olive Ridley has a heart-shaped shell. The Sparks shared the importance of saving turtles. We spoke about sea turtles' favourite food being jellyfish and how plastic bags in the ocean are mistaken for a meal, endangering the sea turtles.
Following this lesson, the Sparks joined in on a painting activity. This is when the magic truly unfolded. The Sparks were free to infuse their unique flair into their artwork. With a palette of colours at their disposal, they let their imaginations soar as they designed the intricate patterns and colours of their turtle's shell. We can't wait to share them with you at Exhibition.
French
This week in French, we reviewed how to pronounce the French alphabet and started learning to read in French, starting with the letter combinations in, on, en, an, ou and on do. To do this, we played letter puzzles and the game «Mon premier mot croisé » (my first crossword). The Rebels had to ask in French for the correct letters on their French crossword to find all the letter combinations.
Additional Highlights
On Monday, we had a thrilling visit from Little Ray's Nature Centre. The Sparks were delighted to learn about and even have a chance to pet various animals. We met a ferret, a corn snake, a python, a couple of lizards, a turtle, a crocodile, and a tarantula! The learners were a very attentive audience and had some great questions!
As we begin preparing for our Session 6 Exhibition, Sparks learned about voting for excellence. Over the next five weeks, they will be introduced to a different topic with its tri-board designed by the Sparks. With limited space, not all learners' work can be placed on the board. Therefore, the Sparks will vote on whose work will be posted on the board. Did the learner use words and colours and do their best work? These are questions they think of before casting a vote.
Lastly, we started working on a collaborative poster for Earth Day to display in the lobby. The Sparks enjoy colouring their squares and seeing them all come together to form a beautiful picture. Stay tuned next week for our big reveal!
Discovery Studio
Mindfulness
To coincide nicely with the solar eclipse, Monday's mindful activity was "the Circle of Control." Rebels learned how differentiating between things we can control and things outside of our control can help us move through feelings of stress and anxiety. By noticing things in our control, we can take small, actionable steps toward them. When we realize something is outside our control, we can let go of negative emotions towards them or begin accepting them. For example, it is not in our control if it rains, but we can pack a rain jacket and boots so we don't feel uncomfortable at recess! Tuesday, Rebels had a mindful zen doodle period and collaboratively worked on large animal and prehistory-themed murals while listening to classical music. Many Rebels solved the Wonder Wednesday puzzles - save for a very tricky category in Connections about second words in movie titles by a famous director! On Thanks for Sharing Thursday, Rebels shared stories in relation to compliments they have received or would most like to receive, as well as stories related to how they would like to be known. Feel-Good Friday, we warmed up the Boomwhackers and tried a "Guess that Movie" musical clue game.
Launches
Monday's Launch was all about the solar eclipse! Rebels discussed the difference between a partial and total eclipse, what the path of totality means, and how to be safe when viewing one. Tuesday's Launch followed up with Monday's wonderful eclipse and challenged Rebels to weigh the pros and cons of risk and learning opportunity/experience. Rebels examined two articles about the Ottawa School Board's decision to close schools on April 8th and discussed whether or not this was the right move as an educational organization. On Wednesday, Rebels met with their triads to review their weekly goal trackers and make a plan for success for the rest of the week. Thursday featured a special Rebel-led Kahoot!, which used trivia and facts about the Revel community and systems. Thank you for working so hard on an entertaining launch! Friday's Current Events report featured an overview of the Annual Sydney Duck Fashion Show, a "Better names for things" slide deck (do you prefer peacock or disco chicken?), and a special report on Eid-al-Fitr!
Reader/Writer
Unfortunately, there was no R/W workshop this week, thanks to some very special visitors from Ray's Reptiles on Monday morning! Spark and Discovery Rebels were treated to an incredible workshop all about Nature's Ninjas. Nature's Ninjas explored some of the most common and unique self-defence mechanisms in the animal kingdom as Rebels participated in a series of interactive, captivating animal exhibits. Rebels got up close and personal with lizards, geckos, bearded dragons, a cobra, and Charlotte the fuzzy tarantula!
Math Lab
How big and how small? Which units help us measure the most significant and minor parts of our lives? The first workshop in this session's measurement series was all about time. In connection with our Quest topic, Rebels began by making their own models of the four biggest units of the geologic time scale. They had three minutes to scavenge the studios for any items of their choosing and had to order them from greatest to least: eons, eras, periods and epochs. Using a visualization on Ms. Mel's new favourite tool, Polypad, we tried to make sense of how much bigger each unit in the scale is compared to the others. In the second half of our lab, we turned our attention to the analog clock face. Rebels looked at four more units for measuring time, and we had a great conversation about the words "big" and "small." What do those words really indicate? How are they relative depending on the context? An hour is a very long time to be stuck in traffic, but it's nothing compared to a geologic era. Next week, we'll practice telling time and measuring elapsed time with analog clocks while also tackling measuring length!
Quest
Welcome to Prehistory Alive! Rebels kicked off this session's theme by engaging with arguably one of the coolest posters at Revel: The Timeline of Life. There was so much to unpack, from the way we name parts of Earth's history to the lineages of species dating back millions of years ago. We reviewed our Journey Map for the session on Monday and developed a K-W-L chart. Rebels already know a lot about prehistoric times, but their curious minds came up with many questions too! On Tuesday, we started with a Triad Contract task, highlighting our biggest individual strengths and challenges and making an agreement based on these so that each triad can be as productive as possible. Next, we worked on geologic time-scale puzzles involving all the Precambrian eons: Hadean, Archean and Proterozoic. Rebels had to read clues about all three and connect other puzzle pieces based on different examples of life or conditions of the planet at the time. Wednesday, we entered the current eon, the Phanerozoic, beginning with an incredible video from PBS Eons focusing on the Paleozoic era, "From the Cambrian Explosion to the Great Dying." Rebels had more time to establish their Precambrian puzzles from the day before and then had to extend them to include some species that came about at the onset of the Cambrian period. On Thursday, we had an extensive Socratic discussion about mass extinction events and the idea that understanding the past better may help us solve the problem of increasing species extinctions today. Rebels played a round of Prehistory Alive Jeopardy to tie it all together! Next week, we move forward in time to the Mesozoic Era!
Civilizations
Instead of Civ this week, Rebels, with permission, attended a solar eclipse viewing event! We walked to the Carlington Park Bike Pump Track and used our special glasses to safely view the sun as the moon passed in front of it. What an incredible experience!
Physical Development
After lovely games in the park on Tuesday, we had a rainy Thursday with both PE options remaining inside. The gym was split in half, and on one side, a group was playing Sink the Ship and then Dodgeball. This group ended their high-energy games with a cool-down stretch led by the Rebels. Group Two started with a yoga sequence using the Yoga Pretzel Cards. The learners enjoyed trying some of the more challenging partner poses. The next activity for this group was to show off their dance moves to some of their favourite songs, and it ended with some Freeze Dance. If a learner moved when they were supposed to be frozen, they had to complete some jumping jacks!
French
This week, we began the session with a Kahoot on weather vocabulary in French. We then drew flashcards where each square had a French weather term, and the Rebels had to draw the corresponding picture. On Thursday, we completed a French crossword utilizing our new weather words.
Exploration Studio
Solar Eclipse - April 8th
On Monday, April 8th we took the first 30 minutes of Session 6 to submit our badges from Session 5 before preparing for our Solar Eclipse Excursion! We learned about solar eclipses, the uniqueness of being in an area of totality for the event, and, of course, the importance of safety while participating!
We then got in our cars and drove to Crysler's Farm next to Upper Canada Village in Morristown to witness the solar eclipse in totality! It was an incredible setup with plenty of space, a great view of the St. Lawrence River, a fabulous music system complete with an eclipse-inspired playlist, and a Beaver Tail stand! The learners played football, made UV bead bracelets, and rode the Upper Canada Village train as we waited for the "big show." When the final event began, we were in AWE! It was an incredible opportunity to experience our amazing community.
Mindfulness and Launch
Tuesday's pilates was a balanced, dynamic practice that included both seated stretches and more high-energy moves like backward lunges with a knee raise - engaging the core muscles, legs, and lungs, depending on your preferred pace! After pilates, we discussed all of the amazing opportunities that Session 6 will bring! We issued an Activity Break Challenge to encourage Rebels to get off their devices and get oxygen to their brains! If they complete five personal exercises/habits each day of the week, they will get to spin The Wheel of Fortune at Town Hall! Several Rebels also took on the Book Club challenge and will read and discuss The Graveyard Book each week on Fridays during DEAR to earn a Deep Book Badge! After solving the NYT Connections and Wordle, we learned about the sport Octopush in our Rebel-led Current Events presentation. Thursday's Yoga Pretzel cards challenged learners to piece together a six-position sequence without speaking to communicate! Using the cards and hand signals, the teams of three and four worked together to create a full flow from start to finish and lead their fellow Rebels through their routine to the best of their ability. Once we returned from the gym, Rebels learned that in 1972, U.S. Congress passed Title IX, a law prohibiting discrimination against women in schools, colleges, and universities, including school-sponsored sports. Before this law, female athletes were few and far between, and funding was even scarcer. We explored and discussed the significance and complexity of Title IX, how far women's sports have come and ideas for how to continue to strive for equality. On Friday, we began our Google Sheets exploration. While learners use Google Sheets frequently, many need help understanding the tool's amazing capabilities. We began by learning how to customize sheets to fit our data, including deleting, inserting and changing the size of columns and rows. We also learned how to sort alphabetically and change the format of our dates and numbers.
Quest - Science of sports
Welcome to this session's Quest - Science of Sports! On Tuesday, we took time to review the foundations of experimental science. We reviewed the scientific method and the requirements for keeping a transparent and informative lab notebook. After going over the journey map, Rebels discussed the badge expectations and deliverables for this session. With the Quest basics under our belt, we dove into the cardiovascular system on Wednesday. We began by listing everything we knew about the circulatory system, including pertinent vocabulary and components. We then learned that for most of history, scientists weren't quite sure why our hearts were beating or even what purpose they served. Eventually, we realized that these thumping organs serve the vital task of pumping clean blood throughout the body. But how? We took a closer look at the heart's highly efficient ventricle system and watched how blood flows through the body for two minutes. Rebels then learned how to find their pulse and measure their heart rate. After calculating our resting heart rates, we went for a jog around the field before finding our exercising heart rate. With our resting and exercise heart rates calculated, in conjunction with our personal fitness course, we learned about Borg's Rate of Exertion and target heart rates. Utilizing our charts, we ranked our jog on both and discovered which zone we wanted to be in based on our personal fitness goals. To continue our learning at Closing, we learned how playing sports benefits our bodies and our brains. Then, we played an incredibly difficult Blooket based on the circulatory system.
Revel was honoured to be the Zoom class for a Beyond the Win presentation with Hall of Famer and Olympian Dr. Sandra Kirby. She spoke to us about how she reached the Olympics and her efforts going "beyond their wins" to champion good in the community. We were greatly inspired by her research to make sports more equitable and safe for all participants. After our meet and greet with Dr. Sandra Kirby, we journeyed into the lungs to see how the respiratory and automatic nervous systems work together to keep us alive and breathing. After reviewing the respiratory system and its components, learners participated in two different labs. In the first, learners measured their vital lung capacity and learned why we couldn't measure their total capacity due to the residual volume remaining in their lungs. Rebels also completed an activity to measure the effects of exercise based on their breathing rates. While it was raining outside, most learners still chose to take to the outdoors to run for their lab! Next week, we will gather our individual data to analyze and discuss our results!
Learners can complete a Future Goals: Science Edition lesson each week as an added challenge! Rebels had to help the skating coach closely monitor the players' vitals during each shift to ensure they were training in the most effective zone to go along with our Quest lessons this week. Learners helped meet heart rate and breathing rate target zones during a 30-second shift on the ice, and saw how physical exertion can impact these factors.
Personal Fitness
In this PE session, Rebels will focus on their personal fitness. Between their Activity Break habit trackers, learning about their target heart rates, participating in fitness testing, and designing an exercise program that fits their goals, Rebels will be working to improve their fitness while enjoying the spring weather outdoors!
French
This week, we listened to the short documentary "Qu'est-ce que l'art engagé?" (What is engaging art?) and then answered a series of questions in French. We then discussed the difference between "culture" and "art." Why aren't they synonymous?
Math Lab
We began this session's Math Lab by learning for some and reviewing for others how to calculate various statistical data, including mean, median, mode, range, Interquartile Range, and Mean Absolute Deviation. Utilizing a series of sports-related stats, Rebels calculated each stat before creating corresponding box plots. Based on their chosen sport, the Rebels then conducted their own experiment. The baseball group either hit a paper ball with a pencil or used a real bat and ball to see how many times out of ten they could connect. The basketball group meanwhile hit the courts and tallied up their successful vs. missed shots. They then repeated the process with their data in hand, finding the mean, IQR, and MAD and creating their box plots.
Learners have the opportunity to earn an Honours Math Lab badge this session if they complete the Problem of the Week (POTW) each week. In this session, the POTW utilizes the Future Goals: Hockey Scholar - Math Edition, which makes math & engineering concepts come to life through the fast-paced game of hockey. This week, Rebels had to uncover the ice. To remove each individual section of the ice covering, learners must first determine the area of the section to be removed. When the ice had been fully revealed, they used the collected information to determine the area of the rink itself.
Reader/Writer
Welcome to Session 6 and a whole lot of writing! In this session, we'll be writing comparative essays. We spent our first workshop going through badge expectations, what a comparative essay is and why they're important, and brainstormed a massive map of details about the Salem Witch Trials and the McCarthy Trials. As we kicked off our brainstorming map, Rebels reviewed the 5 W's + H for both events. Reflecting on the who, what, when, where, why and how of each, Rebels began uncovering similarities and differences. We discussed the following questions at great length: Would the outcome of these events change if the decade or century changed? What were the impacts that these events had on society and the world? How do the Salem Witch and McCarthy Trials connect to the formula "Fear + Trigger = Scapegoat?" Rebels will continue to collect notes and information on both events and organize them into a comparative essay template next week before venturing into their rough drafts.
Civilization
Imagine going about your life knowing that, at any given moment, you and everyone you know could be wiped out without warning at the push of a button. This was the reality for millions during the forty-five-year period after World War II, now known as the Cold War. On Tuesday, we explored the history behind the peak of all this panic - the thirteen days of the Cuban Missile Crisis. After doing some research, learners took on the role of President Kennedy and assumed they just discovered the Soviet missiles in Cuba. They then had to prioritize the following objectives from most significant to least: 1. Stopping a nuclear war, no matter what, 2. Preventing the Soviets from being able to blackmail the United States, 3. Protecting your ability to be reelected President by keeping the public on your side, 4. Not setting off a panic by the American people, and 5. Reassuring countries that are your allies that America will remain strong. Discussion groups then gave their order and reasoning, citing why their priorities differed from their peers.
Apprenticeship Prep
This week, learners who have yet to complete the Apprenticeship Prep badge began the process. To get started, we took time to reflect on our personal goals and completed a handout with our success formula, skills and strengths, interests, and values before writing a self-creation summary.
Book Club - The Graveyard Book
We met on Friday to discuss Chapter 1 of The Graveyard Book, written by Neil Gaiman. While many Rebels agreed that they were a little confused by the writing style during the first chapter, as they answered comprehension questions, gave chapter summaries, discussed the characters, and made our predictions, it was clear that the learners understood more than they realized. We're excited to dive more into the book and discover what will happen to Nobody Owens!
Launchpad Studio
Driver's Ed - Young Drivers of Canada
Two learners will complete the Young Drivers of Canada Defensive Driving course every Tuesday and Thursday morning for the next five weeks! After studying for the last couple of months and having their first lesson on Tuesday, they were both ready to take the G1 knowledge test. Both passed, and we celebrated with a delicious brunch before returning to the studio.
Physics
The lab notebooks have re-emerged, and our Launchpad learners are once again diving into the world of physics! Based on their interests and University requirements, Rebels have chosen the best physics course for them. One learner has taken on the challenge of completing an astrophysics course on the "Violent Universe," while another two are completing all or portions of Khan Academy's high school physics course.
Each learner must also design a research or lab experiment that correlates with their area of study. So far, one Rebel has chosen to investigate G-force and Crash Cushion design, while another will be looking into double slit diffraction interference and the wavelength of light over the next few weeks utilizing our PocketLab sensors!
Civilization
If you could go back in time, what one question would you ask Napoleon? This week, learners researched and discussed the rise and fall of Napoleon Bonaparte. Were his early victories more because of military, economic, political, or ideological advantages or his military genius? Was France successful during the Napoleonic Wars because it had better supply lines for war materials, Napoleon was a great military leader, France had a larger population, or France had geographic advantages? Rebels also learned about the Continental System, the invasion of Russia and the Peninsula War before debating which of the three was Napoleon's biggest mistake.
As examples of Liberalism, Romanticism, and even Socialism failed, Karl Marx and Frederick Engels developed the argument for Marxism, which later became the foundation of most communist movements worldwide. After completing their independent research, learners debated and discussed what they would do if it were 1848 and they were working-class French citizens with poor factory working conditions and no right to vote. Would they first take control of the factories to improve working conditions or demand the right to vote? They also pondered whether they agreed with Count Henri de Saint-Simon, the founder of Socialism, when he said "from each according to his ability, to each according to his work." Do you agree that this approach would provide the happiest society?
Build a PC
Two of our Launchpad Rebels expressed an interest in building a PC. This week, they researched what components they would need and began sourcing where to buy the parts with the budget they'd been given.
