Collaboration and Community in 4th

COLLABORATION AND COMMUNITY

 IN 4TH

In math, we worked hard to "Save Fred!" This is an activity that promotes collaboration, teamwork, leadership, and fun. Students are asked to save Fred (the gummy worm) who hasn't had a chance to put his life preserver on (the gummy ring) and is struggling in the water without his boat (the plastic cup). Using the paper clip and NO HANDS, students were encouraged to SAVE FRED.  Students did a great job!

Here, students were working together on the mission statement puzzles. Students were first in small groups, but it wasn't long before they realized the task couldn't be completed without the help from the rest of the class. 

 

Once students worked together to complete all six puzzles, we met as a fourth grade team to brainstorm what community means. The SmartBoard display below reflects our students' thoughts. What wise 4th graders they are!
