Stuck on an island...

               Check out the "Survivor Challenge" shared by Academic Specialist, Ms. Mitzi:

The Survivor Challenge requires collaboration, communication and cooperation-- in short, teamwork. A small group of students of slightly varying ages, skill, academic standing and personalities are told to imagine themselves stranded on an island together. The sun is setting. The temperature is getting colder. They are hungry, thirsty, tired & cold. Then, the group is given a mathematical word problem. They are told that the only way off of the island is by working as a team to solve the problem and escape the island together. 

Let's just say that after about an hour, things on the island got a little.....tense. LOL! Eventually, the girls calmed their frustrations, re-grouped and, as a team, solved the problem and made it off the island just in time for dinner. I have to admit, at times, I could barely keep my composure. It was quite entertaining! But the girls worked together, worked through their challenges and eventually solved the problems! Go, girls!
