Self-reflection

Michelle Martin, the teen dating violence prevention coordinator from Citizens Against Family Violence, visited MHCA3 participants to discuss a wide range of topics over the course of two weeks. Topics discussed included: proudest moments, greatest accomplishments, personal fears, goal setting and steps to achieve those goals. In addition, students compiled a list of at least 5 positive characteristics to describe themselves. Each activity was depicted through pictures or words and participants were given the opportunity to share with the group.

Walk on Water Bugs!

Students at the Bassett Community Center and the Spencer Penn Center learned about water quality and water bugs in the Walk On Water Bugs program.

Each group builds their own water bugs (out of paper clips) that will actually float on water due to the surface tension.

They then see what happens when dirt is added and then soap, to see if the bugs still float.

The kids built their own filters to see if they could clean the dirty, soapy water.
