Lessons include uncovering and painting the ice! Students think it’s cool - hockey fan or not!” This program is having a big impact on learning, and not just in math class. Ms. Makila is part of the Grade 6 teaching team at CCS, "As a science teacher, the Everfi sponsored program offers great supplementary activities for students to complete in a fun and interactive way."
