Our first day of school, the refrain "Somebody Save Fred!" rang out in the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade classrooms:
Fred, the gummy worm, had capsized his boat (a plastic cup). He needed to get to the safety of his life jacket (a life-saver underneath the cup).
The catch: the rescue crew could not use their hands to move Fred, the cup, or the lifesaver. The only tools available to help were two paper clips. These had to be fashioned into some sort of a tool to help get Fred out from under his capsized boat and into his life preserver.
Thank goodness for the agile and creative minds of these students - if not for the courage of this fearless crew, Fred would have been lost!
