This month we're talking about Creativity! Creativity is more than just making things or creating art - it is about exercising our imagination to help make the world better!

Creativity: Using your imagination to create something or solve a problem.

One of the best things about being a human being is our ability to imagine! We get this cool part of our brain that allows to not just think about survival, but also about sparkly space pigeons or colorful caterpillars or a cardboard box that is secretly a rocket ship. At this young age, kids regularly use their Creativity to entertain themselves (and us!) with all the wacky and wonderful ways they view the world. Let's make sure they never lose that curiosity! It is that same imagination that makes a sandbox into the moon that is capable of imagining the world's problems as opportunities for new, bold, innovative solutions. This month, we will be talking about and practicing solving problems, working in teams, and dreaming up new perspectives! The only way we change the negative normals in our world is to have the Courage and Creativity to think different!
