My Project

COVID-19 has prevented students from collaborating together to problem solve and use critical thinking skills in the classroom. Many escape the classroom experiences will be created with different locks and boxes purchased with the money funded through this project.

The escape the classroom experience promotes student collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking skills.

Any subject area content can be paired with this activity enhance student excitement while practicing essential standards through this fun, interactive activity. In my classroom, I will focus on incorporating essential 6th grade math standards in my clues.
