This week students participated in an activity titled "Save Fred". In this activity Fred was a gummy worm that was sailing in the ocean and capsized. Students were required to work in teams to complete the activity. Their goal was to get a life preserver on Fred but had a few rules that they had to follow, requiring careful planning and teamwork to complete the task. We used this activity to discuss the components of teamwork. The students made a plan to save Fred and then worked to carry out their plan. The students shared how they had to work together and they needed each other. Each member in the team contributed in a different way. They also shared how they had to have patience and needed to make changes to their initial plan.
