In their first week of classes, fourth and fifth grade students at Bayville and Locust Valley intermediate schools worked on their problem-solving skills in teams to set the tone for a great school year. At Bayville Intermediate, students in Ms. Arthur and Ms. McDermott’s fifth grade class gathered into teams and grabbed ribbons attached to a rubber band to expand and contract the contraption to pick up and stack cups.
As part of their annual Save Fred! project, the fourth grade students at Locust Valley Intermediate School participated in team building exercises, including one where students had to place their gummy worms on top of a Life Saver using paper clips. The project aims to get students working together in friendly competition to start the year off right.
