In science, students work in groups A LOT. We spend time teaching procedures, teamwork, communication, and how to work together.
But one of the biggest lessons I see middle schoolers needing is learning how to be happy for someone else. How to stay calm when things don’t go their way. How to win with humility and lose with grace.
“When you win, say nothing. When you lose, say less.”
We’re working on celebrating someone else’s success instead of making excuses, blaming others, or saying, “You cheated.”
These lessons may not be in the science standards, but they are definitely lessons worth teaching. ❤️
