On Friday August 25th the whole fourth grade came together to learn what it means to work together to succeed. We watched a clip from Finding Nemo where we learned a lot of lessons like: trust, courage, helping, working together, persevering, and many more. Our motto is "Keep Swimming" with things get hard and remember the power of "yet". I can't do something "YET"! After talking about all these great ideas we went to the gym to play a game called Mingle. Where the kids had to work together to get into groups when a number was called. A lot of lessons were learned during this game and I hope the students remember them. Here are a few pictures and video of the game.

The students had to work together in math to create a shape using pattern blocks. Each student in the group had a clue (some clues were REALLY HARD!) that would tell them what shapes to use and how many. It took a lot of good communication, a lot of thinking and a few tries but they got it!
