This post comes a week late, but seems appropriate since we
are still seeing the results from the 7th grade field trip to Triple C Camp.
The idea behind the trip was to have an event that brought our seventh grade
class together as one group. We started the day as one large group and then
broke off into smaller sets that went from challenge course to challenge
course. High ropes, invasive species, rope swings, pirate ships, carnivore
chases...the students got an opportunity to experience a number of
science-based team activities. As one of the floaters for the day, I got a
chance to see each group work together. I saw students take on leadership roles
for various obstacles. I saw students cheer on their peers when they were faced
with a challenge that took them out of their comfort zone. I watched as
students helped other students when they were faced with failure. Most of all,
I saw groups of students working together in a cohesive, friendly routine. This
was a terrific trip and we would be remiss if we did not take a second to thank
all the staff at Triple C that created a terrific day for our students and
staff.
Today is Activity Day…another chance for our students to
work together across all grade levels. A reminder that next week is the final
week of this grading period. Keep an eye on Parent Portal as grades start to
roll in and a reminder to check agendas. Chances are there will be a number of
projects and tests coming at our students as the final countdown for grades this
9-weeks kicks in. Have a great weekend, Wildcats!
