Help Us Breakout!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Alder's classroom raised $1,110

My Students

My students always give amazing effort! I have a wide variety of students and some of my students are also English Language Learners and because of this, they need extra support and a more creative means of instruction.

My students have gaps in their academic learning and I am trying to find ways to fill those holes to help my students be more successful.

They always try their best and I hope to be the means to inspire them to greatness.

My Project

These materials will help my students to learn resilience and coping skills while learning their required curriculum. These Breakout boxes will help students to explore content in a deeper and more meaningful way. These boxes will also teach my students teamwork and problem-solving skills.

My students will also learn grit as they are asked to solve various puzzles and unlock codes to break out of these boxes.

I know that with these materials my students will be more successful in their everyday assignments, school tasks, and home life as they apply their grit and problem-solving to whatever they choose to do.
