Mrs. Clayton had announced to her class that they were going to have a treasure hunt day where they had to look for specific items as a team and write the location of the item on the back of their card. One of the classmates, Tia, had a brother who had done the hunt last year and won so she decided to look for items where they were placed last year just like her brother had said. While she looked, her teammates had found some of the items on the cards, but Tia did not listen to them. Since she did not work as team, her group lost the race. She learned that it was important to work as a team and apologized to her teammates.
I would use this book in my classroom to teach the importance of teamwork. This book gives the rsult of not working together which will teach my students how important it is to work with each other. The appropriate grade level for this is PK or Kinder to teach them as early as possible the meaning of teamwork. It can be used in first grade as well to reinforce or to reteach students the consequences of not working together. I would use this in any unit where y students have to work as a group.
