Parents, click here to download the permission slip
We are please and excited to inform you that Lincoln Middle School will be participating in an inter-district grant entitled “CAPT-ivating Kids II”. This program will bring 7th and 8th grade students together from Bristol, Cheshire, Southington, Meriden, and Waterbury. The program is designed to help students build teamwork and communication skills while building self-esteem and mutual respect. The lessons and activities will be run in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, giving students ample opportunity to meet and make new friends. The sessions will consist of both formal and informal educational experiences as inter-district teams of students meet, share information about themselves and their communities while becoming cooperative learning partners. Throughout the course of the year, students will engage in the exploration and investigation of “real world” topics that will help them become problem solvers as they acquire content knowledge and learn to integrate higher order process skills, use and practice reading/writing competencies as they investigate and explore “real world” topics and issues in the physical and life sciences, all based on the Connecticut Science Curriculum Frameworks. Activities may include physical team challenges, constructing and testing mousetrap model cars, competing in roller coaster group challenges and riding New England’s most spine-tingling roller coaster, visiting museums and research centers, learning about high paying careers in science and technology for men and women, designing and flying hot air balloons and kites, and visiting SCSU to participate in a forensic activity. Students will meet on Friday afternoons, Saturday mornings as well as in a “mini-academy” during the school vacations.
This program is sponsored by the Connecticut State Department of Education and is provided at not cost to you or your child.
Registration in this program is currently closed.
