🐛 STEM Emergency in 2nd Grade! ⛵
Our brilliant second graders were put to the test with the ultimate teamwork challenge: Save Fred!
When Fred the gummy worm flipped his boat, he found himself stranded without his life preserver. Working with partners, students had to figure out how to put Fred's life preserver on him using only paper clips—absolutely no fingers allowed! 📎
It took incredible patience, creative problem-solving, and non-stop communication, but our second graders saved the day. Way to go, team! 👏✨
