Revel Recap: May 6 - 10, 2024

SunSense Challenge - Week 2

This week in Discovery and Spark Studios, Rebels dove deeper into UV exposure and safety by creating UV bracelets and necklaces. UV bracelets will turn from clear to a colour (blue/purple) when exposed to ultraviolet radiation. The deeper the colour, the more UV the bracelet has been exposed to. At recess, Rebels participated in a series of experiments to answer the following questions: What clothing can protect us from the sun? Which clothing can provide better protection? Do different materials offer more protection than others? Can UV light still reach us in the shade? Can UV light travel through water? Rebels hid their bracelets under sleeves or shirt necklines, standing in the shade or underneath parts of the play structure to see if their bracelets would still turn colour when under shaded areas! Rebels discovered their bracelets turned lighter/clearer in the shade and realized UV rays could pass through water and windows! How does this affect our decisions regarding what to wear at recess? Do we need to wear sunscreen even if we have a hat or long-sleeved shirt? Absolutely! Extra protection is always a good idea, especially since we're never fully out of reach from UV rays, even if our skin isn't in direct sunlight! Rebels tracked the highs and lows of the daily UV index this week and compared trends they noticed. Even on overcast days, there were still low to moderate UV index ratings and especially as temperatures warmed this week, the UV index was generally much higher than in week 1. Discovery Rebels also created daily weather report scripts that included the UV highs and lows for that day and their recommendations on how to stay safe at recess against UV rays! Rebels are having a ton of fun learning about SunSense and look forward to another week of challenges!

MINDFULNESS 

On Monday, we began with a visualization exercise, using the book The Curious Garden as our reference. First, we discussed what it means to visualize. We compared it to making movies in our minds, creating imaginative pictures of what we hear and read. Before we began our book, we took a moment to visualize what the book's cover would look like based on the title. As we read the book, we started to see a dreary city transformed into a beautiful garden with the help of a curious gardener named Liam. Throughout the story, we would pause and visualize what the following pages would look like. In the end, the garden spread far and wide. The learners were encouraged to draw a picture of how they imagined the city looked after a few years of Liam and the other gardeners' hard work. The Sparks visualized a very bright and thriving city. Finally, the last page of the book was revealed. The learners were amazed to see the transformation! We read a new graphic novel called Worm and Caterpillar Are Friends on Tuesday. The Sparks loved this book about true friendship. We then completed sticker-by-number pictures, creating beautiful artwork of bugs and insects found in the garden. Wednesday's yoga theme was an enchanted garden sequence filled with insect-themed poses. For mindful colouring on Thursday, the Sparks completed pictures from the Magic School Bus or a new jumbo colouring book sheet with a garden theme. We ended the week in the gym, playing Loggers vs. Planters. In this high-energy game, cones representing trees were spread out around the gym. The loggers' job was to knock down the trees, and the planters were to set them back up. It was a race to see which team could set up or knock down more cones. This game got our hearts pumping and was a fun way to start our Friday! 

QUEST

Welcome to Week Five, which is all about plants and gardening! To start our inquiry, we completed a K.W.L. chart as a group. First, the learners shared what they already knew about plants. Then, we asked what they wanted to learn. The Sparks had some really great questions! They wanted to learn more about whether there are plants on other planets, how plants grow by themselves, how trees make paper, why leaves fall off trees, how trees release oxygen, and more! As we continue to explore this week, we will fill out the last column with everything we have learned. Then it was time to watch "The Magic School Bus: Goes to Seed." During this episode, the bus turns into a ladybug, and the class visits Phoebe's old school garden. Throughout the episode, we learn about the parts of flowers, pollen, and how insects and birds move it from one flower to another. After the class retrieves a seed from Phoebe's flower, they race back to school to plant it. With some soil, water, light, and a bit of magic, they grow the plant quickly to get their photo in a gardening magazine. The Sparks have loved watching these episodes and have learned so much from Ms. Frizzle!  To wrap up our day, we talked about the life cycle of plants. We looked at pictures of each stage and put them in the correct order: seed, sprout, seedling, and plant. 

Tuesday's Quest began by reading the informative book How a Seed Grows. Water, sun, soil, and air are necessary for a seed to grow roots and a sprout to emerge. We learned about the different types of seeds and what they can grow into. Afterwards, each Spark created their own poster of what plants need to thrive. When we were done, we shared our posters with the group, and one was voted to be placed on our board for Exhibition. Then, it was time to do some planting ourselves! The learners planted bean, pea, or carrot seeds and put them in the window. They can't wait to see their first sprout! Next, it was time to head outside to the fenced-in area to prepare our two outdoor planters for the season. The Sparks pulled out weeds and removed old plants. They also turned up the dirt with their shovels and rakes. We were happy to see one small violet plant from last year popping up in the garden! We will be planting some flowers when the weather is a bit warmer in Session 7. 

On Wednesday, we started with the classic Eric Carle book, The Tiny Seed. We followed along as a tiny seed went on a long journey and eventually sprouted into a huge flower! Using the flower in the book as a reference, we identified the various parts. Sparks worked on drawing their own flower and labelling the petals, stems, leaves, and roots. Then, it was time to create our very own sprout houses to grow sunflower seeds. We placed two seeds in a Ziploc bag with a wet paper towel. We hung them in the window, and by the end of the week, we already saw a few seeds sprouting! 

On Thursday, it was time to explore the importance of pollinators. We talked about how pollinators such as bees, butterflies, birds, and bats move pollen from one plant to another, which is important to make more seedlings. We read the story Save the Bees, which explained the importance of bees and how we can help them. We learned about being kind to pollinators and to look but not touch. We also explored which flowers they particularly like and the importance of planting a garden for them to visit. Next, we learned about the lifecycle of a honeybee and watched a National Geographic video of bees hatching! The Sparks then created a honey bee craft, drawing the lifecycle on the insect's abdomen. The learners drew very accurate and detailed life cycles.  At the end of the week, we planted some wildflowers and zinnias inside that we will be transferring to our outside gardens for pollinators to enjoy! 

READERS WORKSHOP

This week, we wrapped up our Diary of a Worm booklets. First, the learners made connections from the story to their own lives. They illustrated and wrote about what worms like to eat and then wrote about what they want to eat. Many learners shared that they like vegetables and fruits. To end our book study, the Sparks focused on syllables. They were introduced to the concepts through a fun, engaging song where they practiced counting syllables. As they got into the rhythm, it was time for the Sparks to flip through the story and search for words. They used techniques like placing a hand under their chin or clapping to determine the number of syllables in each word and wrote the words down in their booklet. Bravo on completing another literacy study! 

We continued our study of digraphs with the WH sound this week. We read the phonics book The Wheelbarrow to introduce this new sound. On each page, the learners took turns pointing out a word with the WH sound and reading the word to the group. The Sparks noticed words such as when, wheel, wheat, whistle, white, whisper, whip, while, and whole. The learners did an excellent job sounding out some of these tricky words! Throughout the week, we listened to WH sound songs and wrote down WH words from our Waseca reading booklets. We also spent time on Friday playing Sight Word Bingo. The Sparks took turns reading the words to the group and, at the end, wrote down the words from their cards for extra practice with these high-frequency words! 

Art

This week's guided art lesson began with reading the book Planting a Rainbow. With the illustrations as our inspiration, the Sparks set off to create their own unique, colourful flowers. Using Astrobrights and scrapbook paper, the learners worked hard to make petals. We attached the petals to a paper plate and added a middle disc using paper and cupcake liners. The result was a beautiful garden of unique flowers!  

FRENCH

On Monday, we played a game of seek-and-find to practice our new vocabulary and to review the questions of where and here. We finished reading the book Azuro the Blue Dragon about differences on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, we played Potato Head and the vegetable identification game. Lastly, we played The Colour Game in the gym on Thursday to refresh our vocabulary.

ADDITIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

As we continue our Sun Sense Challenges, the Sparks are deepening their understanding of sun safety. An activity involved the Sparks testing UV beads, which provided important insights into the impact of UV radiation within specific time frames. For instance, if the UV index ranged between 3 and 5, Sparks learned to cover up and wear hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen when spending more than 30 minutes outdoors. By wearing their bead bracelets outside, they observed the colour changes. If the darker shades appear, it indicates higher UV levels.  The Sparks were amazed to observe their beads changing colours by holding them to our studio window! We are so proud of the Sparks for taking sun safety so seriously and taking time each day to apply their sunscreen and put on a hat before we head outside. As the days have warmed, we have been spending more time outside, enjoying the sunshine! 

Thursday's pizza and cake party was a big hit! The Sparks were excited to celebrate their Perler business sales with these special treats. They still have money left over and are discussing what they want to do with the rest! Stay tuned for what they decide! 

Discovery Studio 

MINDFULNESS and LAUNCHES

On Mantra Monday, the Rebels listened to instrumental versions of Taylor Swift songs, coloured Swiftie theme pages, and discussed an Adam Grant post about friendship. He says, "'Best friends' are a modern invention. The average person has three close friends. We don't have to rank them or rely on one for everything. Friendship is about mutuality, not exclusivity. Different people offer different kinds of joy and support." Rebels shared who they can turn to in their friend group and realized we have a strong community here with many different strengths. During Thank You for Sharing Thursday, Rebels discussed their fears, how their lives would change if they conquered those fears, and what age they would want to be if they never got older. Thursday's Launch tackled the idea of optimal performance, and we reviewed two ways of mapping optimization: the Challenge Donut and the Flow Graph. Rebels quickly connected their panic, challenge, and comfort zones to the donut, and on the flow graph, it was clear that a balance of challenge and ability leads to flow. When comparing different levels of ability to challenge, we saw how too much challenge can lead to frustration, but not enough can lead to boredom. Did you know, there are two narrow zones just outside of flow? Rebels can persevere through some frustration but must advocate for a reduced challenge or level up their skills. Conversely, they can get back on track with increased challenge if they're patient through a little boredom. On Feel-Good Friday, the Rebels warmed up their Boomwhackers and then elected to play a version of "Knowing What I Know Now" from Disney's Wish. We looked at the Whipsnade Zoo's new baby camel for Current Events and took a Mother's Day quiz. See below for further updates on this week's SunSense launches!

MATH LAB

This week, the Rebels experimented with a new collaborative problem-solving routine, "one marker, multiple minds." Each small group was randomly selected and sent to a vertical non-permanent workstation (i.e. whiteboard) with one dry-erase marker. The only rule was to take turns with the marker, even to scribe another team member's ideas. After some time to work together, they rotated to a neighbour's station and had to put a box around something they thought was valuable. Then, after sharing what they thought was valuable from another team, they rotated back to their station and added to their solution. We worked on two deep thinking problems about measuring time and perimeter as an opportunity to bring together all of the measurement concepts and skills we've been discovering and developing in this session. 

QUEST

The Rebel Curators were up and running this week, working hard on developing and installing various exhibit items for their upcoming Prehistory Alive! Museum. On Monday, we organized all the ongoing projects by era: Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic. The Rebels are creating everything from puppets to match-up games to dinosaurs "crashing" through walls! On Monday, Rebels went over their Museum To-Do list and got to work on the long list of projects for this week. On Tuesday, before the Rebels continued to develop their projects, we looked at the National Museum of Natural History's virtual tour of Fossil Hall as a world-class museum example! We promoted two Rebels to "executive curators" who are responsible for checking artifact placards for accurate descriptions. Wednesday, Rebels participated in an "Imagine this…" discussion and put themselves in the shoes of their future selves. "What if today was your last chance? What would you prioritize or produce for Exhibition?" To avoid biting off more than we can chew, Rebels took their list of projects and prioritized what was most important to them to finish if they only had today. They set new goals for the Quest period and had an incredible afternoon full of sustained hard work! We debriefed at the end of the day with a discussion on installation. What type of lighting do we want to add to our exhibits? Who will be our Museum Tour Guides? Rebels also updated their material lists and gave the Guides a final revision of the materials they needed to be restocked to complete their projects. Thursday's Quest block was another blitz of hard work, including Tour Guide script writing, placard collaboration, and planning for rehearsal and set up next week. 

CIVILIZATIONS

This week, we mapped the reformation of the Catholic religion after Martin Luther's ideas started to spread. Rebels showed European territories of Protestants (e.g. Lutherans and Calvinists), the Church of England (after Henry VIII) and Catholics. We touched on the Council of Trent, which came together to counter-reform, discussing ways to preserve the Catholic religion. We also discussed the difference (and overlap) between politics and religion at the time. Rebels made cool connections to the House of Commons and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms from our Government Quest last year!

FRENCH

This week, we started our weather reports in French with teams of three. The Rebels had to choose a country and find the forecast for this week and next. They then started writing their script in French for the reading of their weather report.READER/WRITER

Monday's Reader/Writer "Six Traits of Writing" workshops focused on Conventions and Sentence Fluency. Rebels opened the workshop with an activity called "Everyday Edits," where they hunted for 20 errors in two separate paragraphs. The exercise allowed Rebels to work in pairs to talk through various spelling, grammatical, and punctuation errors throughout the writing pieces. Rebels had deep discussions around formatting contractions correctly, pluralizing words that end with y to "ies" and how the "American" and "Canadian" spelling of certain words like "colour" can change depending on your country's spelling rules and how different cultures have influenced them. For example, Rebels learned that colour is spelled with a "u" in Canada and Europe due to French influences on language conventions. Once Rebels finished their editing challenge, we moved on to sentence fluency in letter writing as Rebels were tasked with completing another Gratitude Letter in honour of Mother's Day. Rebels circled back to Session 1's Gratitude Letter workshop and even referenced their work from earlier this year and discussed how they could make their Session 6 letter better than their first. With sentence fluency practices in mind, Rebels did their best to avoid repetitive vocabulary and use a mix of simple and compound sentences. Some even attempted to use figurative language, such as metaphors, to make their sentences more interesting. Great work, Rebels! 

Exploration Studio

MINDFULNESS AND LAUNCH

With the sun finally shining, Rebels headed outside Monday morning for a Five Senses mindfulness session. Laying down on blankets or walking around the field, learners were asked to pay close attention to the environment's sights, sounds, smells, and feel. They also had the extra treat of mindfully using their taste buds with the help of Timbits! It was a relaxing and delicious way to start our week! Tuesday's Pilates Challenge was an ultimate wall routine: Rebels tried movements like marching in place, alternating chest and hamstring stretches, dynamic lunges with a knee raise and seated abdominal twists. During our Google Sheets tutorial on Tuesday, Rebels learned about the two types of cell references: relative and absolute. Relative and absolute references behave differently when copied and filled into other cells. Relative references change when a formula is copied to another cell. On the other hand, absolute references remain constant no matter where they are copied. Rebels completed a challenge where they had to create a formula to calculate how much the customer would save on each item by multiplying the unit price, quantity, and discount shown in a cell. Those who completed the first task learned that a function is a predefined formula that performs calculations using specific values in a particular order. Google Sheets includes many standard functions that can be used to quickly find the sum, average, count, maximum value, and minimum value for a range of cells, so Rebels completed a challenge to understand the different parts of a function and how to create arguments to calculate values and cell references. Wednesday's mindful connections puzzle challenged Rebels to make groups about beverages, types of baths, and shades of red. Wordle almost stumped our team this week, but we were able to solve it in the nick of time! Rebels then completed a Rebel-led Kahoot on bizarre and lesser-known sports! On Thursday morning, Rebels tried out a new activity: Yoga Battles! Rebels split into two teams with their mats facing each other. Each side was allotted a number of cards with varying yoga poses. They had to select which team members would be strongest at holding each pose. Once they split up the poses, they challenged opposing team members to hold their selected poses for 10 seconds. If a learner fell out of the pose or couldn't hold it for the full 10 seconds, they forfeited a point to the other team. Both sides ended in a tie this week and we look forward to playing again and testing our strength next week! After yoga, Rebels learned about the Santa Barbara oil spill of 1969, which spewed an estimated 3 million gallons of crude oil into the ocean. The spill created an oil slick 35 miles long along California's coast and killed thousands of birds, fish and sea mammals. Following the spill, the region became ground zero for some of the most significant conservation efforts of the 20th century, which gave birth to the modern environmental movement and forever changed the trajectory of oil and gas exploration in California. Friday morning was spent prepping for our field trip to 4Wheelies and discussing our Ultimate Frisbee lines and strategy for our tournament next Monday.

QUEST - SCIENCE OF SPORTS

Time to experiment!!! This week, learners identified an experimental question for their Sports Science Symposium. Once their question was approved, they got to work on their background research before making a hypothesis in "If___, then _____, because" format. After learning about the physics of tennis and the Magnus effect, learners got right to work on their experiment on Tuesday. Most had their hypothesis ready and began completing their experimental design, including the required materials and procedure.

Wednesday and Thursday, the Rebels got right to work gathering their materials and conducting their experiments. Many ran into problems and discovered sources of experimental error in their design, but they persevered and came up with new plans on the fly!

For the Bonus Problem of the Week, the learners used the Everfi Future Goals Program to help create the perfect ice surface for an upcoming hockey game. Learners were given a molecular view of the ice surface, and the impact of different air and ice temperatures on the ice conditions was explored. After reviewing the various states of matter – solid, liquid, gas – they learned how the temperature changes affected skating and the motion of the water molecules.

PERSONAL FITNESS 

Our Exploration Rebels were invited to participate in an Ultimate Frisbee tournament at Ashbury next week. In order to prepare, one of our Revel parents volunteered to come in on Monday to teach us how to play. The group practiced in the field whenever they had outdoor time and got better each day! Rebels not attending the tournament had fun going on walks and playing in the park.

CIVILIZATION

Vietnam War protests began among peace activists and leftist intellectuals on college campuses but gained national prominence in 1965 after the United States began bombing North Vietnam in earnest. Antiwar marches and other protests, such as the ones organized by Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), attracted a widening base of support over the next several years, peaking in early 1968 after the successful Tet Offensive by North Vietnamese troops proved that war's end was nowhere in sight. After learning about the anti-war movement of the 1960s, Rebels drew parallels between Israel's war on Palestine's Gaza and America's intervention in Vietnam. Learners discussed what they would do had they been drafted and opposed to the war; would they follow the actions of Muhammad Ali or go and fight? 

READER/WRITER

Rebels worked hard on our rough drafts of the comparative essay in our fifth workshop, as many moved on to second or third body paragraphs. With some opting to work independently, others preferred working at a large table with peers to talk through elements of their paragraphs such as vocabulary, sentence structure, and paragraph formatting. Rebels are creating a variety of excellent essays with comparisons being made between people in power in both the Salem Witch Trials and the McCarthy Trials, as well as similarities and differences in the outcomes of both events. Some Rebels opted to focus more on the environment surrounding both trials, with fear being a key motivator when making accusations and drawing similarities between "communists" and "witches." Some learners felt more confident writing about topics they were passionate about, with essays focusing on comparing NBA teams, favourite movies, and favourite restaurants. Next week, Rebels will seek out their teammates for feedback and edits before submitting their essays for the Session 6 badge! Completed essays will be on display at Exploration's Exhibition in Week 6.  

MATH LAB

This week's Math Lab was spent creating at least graphs for the Sports Infographic project. Rebels reviewed which types of graphs work best for different kinds of data and the importance of scale, units, labels, and titles. We hope to have an assortment for you to view at Exhibition next week!

During a hockey game, most races toward a loose puck are won or lost in the first strides. In this week's Problem of the Week, learners helped players prepare for the next game. They ran drills to time the players and analyze their speed over short and long distances. Once each sprint was complete, they determined the average speed by calculating distance over time. Rebels had to identify correct units of measurement for time, distance & speed, calculate average speed using distance and time data from multiple trials, identify and utilize the formula for speed, and explain the importance of performing numerous trials in a scientific experiment. 

FRENCH

This week in French, the Rebels finished their rap inspired by Samian, and we listened to a documentary on the world of Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette, a Montreal writer, director, and activist. She created the "mère au front" environmental movement and makes documentaries on a wide range of causes.

BOOK CLUB - THE GRAVEYARD BOOK

This week, one of our learners led our Graveyard Book Club discussion, which focused on Chapter 5 and the Interlude.  When will Jack come back into contact with Bod? Why does no one talk about the Danse Macabre? With Bod growing up and stuck between the land of the living and the land of the dead, Rebels made predictions for the upcoming chapters. 

Additional Highlights

We spent Friday morning at 4Wheelies learning how to roller skate! After a warm-up, we had a lesson on stopping, going backwards, crossovers, and more! We ended our time with a free skate and were impressed with how much everyone had improved!

Launchpad Studio

Core Skills

Launchpad Rebels have been using their core skills time to complete their personalized math goals, read their Deep Books, improve their Spanish, French, or Japanese, and develop their writing. They are working so hard to achieve their weekly goals while balancing their other academic priorities. 

PHYSICS

With one learner having finished their Khan physics units, they had more time to work on their experiment, where they are measuring the comparative wavelengths of lasers using the double slit diffraction method! Another Rebel gathered more data for their crash cushion design and investigation with G-Force experiment while also focusing on the Work and Energy unit on Khan. Meanwhile, our third learner taking Physics spent significant time working on his Australian National University Astrophysics course. 

WORLD HISTORY

Even today, experts disagree on what caused the worldwide Great Depression, the most serious economic collapse in history. On Tuesday, Launchpad read from various sources before coming together to discuss what they believe the number one cause was and whether it could happen again. They also put themselves in the shoes of not only President Hoover and President Franklin D. Roosevelt as well as a starving worker.

On Thursday, Launchpad Rebels learned how the diplomatic efforts in Europe and Asia to prevent a second World War proved futile and harmful. They debated what and who was more responsible for the failure of the European diplomatic resolution with Germany. Was it the ineptitude of European leaders and Stalin, the vicious intent of Adolf Hitler, or The Treaty of Versailles? One of the first glimpses of Hitler's master plan was blatantly violating the Treaty of Versailles through German rearmament and by reinstating a draft. As President of the United States, do you: move additional troops to allied countries around Germany, reason with Hitler, pass the Neutrality Act of 1935, or declare war preemptively? It was a great discussion in which learners showed their deep knowledge of this period. 

CHILDREN'S BUSINESS FAIR

With the Ottawa Acton Children's Business Fair only a couple of weeks away, our learner coordinating the event met with the young entrepreneurs for a Kick-Off on Wednesday! She went over the schedule for May 19th and reminded them of some important tips and tricks to practice beforehand. It is shaping up to be another fantastic event full of talented entrepreneurs! 

DRIVER'S ED - YOUNG DRIVERS OF CANADA

This was the last week of in-class lessons for two of our Launchpad Rebels! Way to go! It is time to complete the online portion and the in-car driving lessons. 

BUILD A PC

Now that the parts had been ordered, our two Launchpad Rebels had to wait for delivery! Luckily, the parts arrived on Thursday so they can begin their build next week!

Technological Design

Only a few weeks remain in the University of Ottawa Technological Design course two of our Rebels are taking! This week, they worked hard to utilize the Engineering Design Cycle to innovate a current invention. We can’t wait to see their final presentation!

Potential Discussion Ideas or Questions to Ask Your Rebel: 

Spark Studio

• What is the life cycle of plants? Can you tell me the life cycle of bees? 

• What four things do plants need to grow?
