Eighth graders at Copiague Middle School learned the lessons of teamwork during a recent physical education class. Students were divided into small groups that participated in fun challenges. Surrounded by stations with cones, balls, foam rollers and buckets, the students were tasked with collecting these items but first they needed to perform the exercise: sit-ups, jumping jacks, burpees or pushups – that was labeled for each item. Once they collected the items, they brought them back to the station where they worked together to attempt to build the highest structure in five minutes.
