Tools for the Future: Explore the Unknown! Summer SOLE program at Monongah Middle School kicked off each day with the "Morning Meeting" where the theme of the day was announced including Circle of Control, decision making skills, goal setting. Growth Mindset, and Mindfulness. While wrapping up the project gram, students conducted labs exploring rocks and minerals along with a scavenger hunt where they identified minerals based on their properties. They also engineered their own hot air balloons, created their own comic strips to explain the scientific method and designed and built a small scale building.
