My students need lock boxes and miscellaneous padlock/combination locks to create a breakout kit to use with Breakout EDU. We want to BreakOut of the boring and BreakInto some fun learning!!
Teaching in a low income/high poverty school district has many challenges for teachers and students alike. One hundred percent of our students receive free lunch. Many of our students face daily obstacles that prevent them from getting ahead early in life, such as broken homes, language barriers, and poverty.
My students come from a variety of backgrounds-each with his/her own story to tell.
Our students come to school each day knowing that they are loved and that they are a part of something special. Our school is the perfect example of a diverse FAMILY.
Our Pre-K to 5th grade school is the very epitome of diversity. Our student body represents many different cultures: many South American and Latin American countries, multiple Asian countries, In our 4th grade team, roughly half of our students this year are ESL students.
My Project
"In Academics, Building, Community, Diversity, and Educators...We Are the One!" Our school motto sets high standards and expectations for students and teachers alike. That is why we need Breakout EDU in our fourth grade classroom.
I want to breakout of the traditional learning model by making learning fun and exciting for each and every student, regardless of their background or "level." Our Breakout Kits will be used amongst our 4th grade team to provide students with an exciting, cross-curricular set of challenges.
The use of Breakout boxes gives students the opportunity to work together (building teamwork skills), to use logic and critical thinking skills that will help them throughout life, and to utilize technology as a learning tool instead of just a "toy."
The Breakout EDU learning model is one that provides students with multiple opportunities to "fail forward" by requiring students to keep working through puzzles and problems instead of giving up when they get wrong answers. In a world of standardized testing, this grit and stamina will help them throughout school and into college/adulthood. Skills strengthened by breakout challenges will aid students throughout their lives! Please help us breakout of the boring and start thinking outside the box!
