Edit
In just the first few weeks of school, I am already sensing a lack of community between my students. The students' focus is not on building each other up and supporting one another, and I would like to change that. I have been stressing the importance of teamwork each day and I incorporate weekly team building activities to encourage partnership as well. I heard of Breakout EDU a few years ago and absolutely loved the idea, but was never able to purchase one for my class. I believe introducing an exciting activity like Breakout EDU would entice the students to depend on their team and work together to solve the puzzles in a new and active way! I especially love that with this kit, I would have access to a variety of different breakout activities. I could incorporate them in regularly! I would be grateful for the help to purchase this for my class. I just know they would be engaged and excited to play. This kit would help me to build the sense of community and teamwork in the students this year, and for years to come.
