Fifth graders cannot wait for Friday afternoons to hear about their Leader In Me challenge and get a chance to practice those habits. This past Friday, they successfully began with the end in mind and synergized to save Sam, a gummy worm. I borrowed the idea from Miss Melissa. http://all4theloveofteaching.blogspot.com/2013/09/saving-sam-team-building-activity.html?m=1#.WdmjikyZPq0
In short, in small groups students had to safely put Sam's life jacket and get him in his boat without touching him. All groups were successful!
