Ms. Coughlin used a fun game during her 2nd grade counseling lesson to show how failure can mean learning. She had a dot maze on the floor, and students had to make their way through the maze one by one. They worked as a team to figure out which dots were the correct way to go and which dots sent them back to the beginning. Then they talked about how, even though some students failed and others succeeded, their combined effort helped them complete the maze together. #celebrate379

Our pilot CCCMS KAY Club recently had the opportunity to visit Lincoln Elementary for a team-building and service project with first graders—and it was a great experience for everyone involved!

Middle school leaders and first-grade students worked together in small groups rotating through activities like castle ball, basketball, gaga ball, soccer, and a “chill room” for drawing and art. Throughout the activities, students practiced teamwork, sportsmanship, and building a sense of community.
