Yesterday the Fire Dragons got together to Build, Balance, and Breathe. It was a great lesson on frustration and how to work past it.
The students were split into pairs and were tasked with building a tower.
The challenge: Each partner could only use one finger to lift, place, and snap the piece into place.
Ask your students what the hardest part of the challenge was? What were some ways they were able to calm down when they were feeling frustrated?
Students in grades 7-12 joined their Central McLean counterparts to cheer on the girls basketball team with a pep rally this afternoon. The Lady Cougars take on the Grant County/Mott-Regent Jaguars in tonight's regional championship game in Killdeer. Go Cougars!
