We hope that your first week of May has been magnificent! We had an awesome week here at #beproudbedale and want to share some of that awesomeness with you.
Our fifth grade classrooms visited the Christa McAuliffe Center at Framingham State University this week. Using the concept of simulation as an instructional tool, the Challenger Center program created an exciting, cooperative learning environment for students at Dale Street to better understand the challenges of teamwork, problem-solving, communication, and decision making. Every crew member (student) was assigned to, and trained for, a specific role. They took their positions in either Mars Control or the Spacecraft and assumed control of an exciting two hour mission simulation to Mars.
