Lucy’s Class Notes

Our Four Seasons Realms project has been in full swing this past month. After collaborating as a full class to design an immersive Autumn realm, students have transitioned into smaller groups, taking ownership of the seasonal world they chose to bring to life. Each group is approaching their work with the same guiding vision: treating their space as a blank canvas and transforming it into an environment that transports visitors to a completely new world.

It has been inspiring to watch what students can accomplish when given meaningful choice and creative autonomy. The Winter realm group has ventured into rich explorations of culture—drawing inspiration from Lunar New Year traditions and Icelandic folklore—while also investigating the science of the season, including volcanoes and snowflake formation. The Spring realm has blossomed into an enchanted fairytale world, thoughtfully curating elements of fantasy literature and bringing them vividly to life. Meanwhile, the Summer realm might make you hungry—imagine stepping into a world where you become a type of food, surrounded by a playful, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs-inspired summer landscape.

As we continue refining these realms, students are eagerly preparing to share their work at the Spring Festival on May 20.
