First Annual 4th Grade Team Building with OMS Principals

On Friday, Oct. 21st the 4th-grade classes joined Mrs. FitzPatrick and Ms. Davis for the first annual team building activity!  This is the first year that the principals have expanded team building to grades other than 5th.  

This morning the students were divided into groups on a deserted island.  They were famished due to lack of food.  Low and behold the island across the way had the much-needed food they needed. Using only their mini raft (a scooter) and a rope, teams had to find a way to get all of their members from one island to the other.  If their scooter was left unattended or the rope touched the water the mean and hungry sharks (the principals) sent them back to the beginning.

Fun was had by all and we learned the value of listening to one another, communicating, sharing ideas, and being persistent in problem-solving.  At the end of the activity, a few teachers decided to join in the fun!
