South Country School District third grade students at Kreamer Street Elementary School practiced their teamwork skills through an engaging, hands-on “Save Fred” activity.

After reading the book Teamwork Isn't My Thing, and I Don't Like to Share by Julia Cook, the students worked in pairs to help save Fred, a gummy worm, who had fallen out of his life preserver, a gummy Lifesaver candy, and tipped his boat over, a plastic cup. As part of the activity, the students were instructed to work in teams to strategize the best way to get the life preserver back on Fred and get him back inside his boat safely using only four paper clips.
