Save Fred
Today we completed a cooperative learning activity called Save Fred. Students were give one gummy life saver,one gummy worm, two paper clips and one plastic cup. Students then had to get the life saver on Fred using only the paper clips. They could not touch Fred with their fingers. If Fred drops to the ground more than once he will drown in the ocean. We had to work together to save Fred.
Fun With Measurement
Today we worked on measuring. We cut string to different lengths and then found things in the room that matched the lengths. We then calculated how much more string we would need to reach one meter.
