We develop crew activities to incorporate both active, hands-on learning through team-building games and initiatives as well as small group discussions on habits of character. For example, one activity asked students to create a "complement train." Each member of the group could only move the train forward when the other group members were giving positive feedback and complements. In another activity, students sat together with a crew leader and discussed the topic "What makes a good classmate?"

Students and staff participate in crew activities three times a week. These one-hour time periods give students opportunities to meet with peers from other classes. Our goal as a school community is to build relationships and encourage habits of character, specifically within the Learn at Morse Hill Learner Framework. Crew encourages students to become more self-aware, build communication skills, and grow habits of inquiry and exploration.
