This week Mrs. Santos' third graders helped save Fred. Save Fred is a community building activity where students work together to get a gummy worm (Fred) into his life preserver (a gummy lifesaver) after his boat (a cup) capsizes. They can only use paperclips, no hands and they can't pierce his body. Students learn how to strategize, work with a partner/team, and use problem solving skills. #3rdgrade #oasisacademy
