Mrs. Walk gave students a "cup challenge today" for her last day. The students had to move ten cups without using their hands. They were required to use good communication skills, teamwork and perseverance to stack the cups into a tower. All the students exhibited positive communication skills even when they became frustrated if their cup got knocked on the floor or their towers fell. They were persistent until all groups had completed their challenge.
