My Project

Escape rooms bring so much fun and excitement to the classroom. Students are engaged and at times there may be a little yelling (all in good spirits though). Escape rooms are a great way to test the students knowledge and see if they truly understand the material. It allows students to collaborate and use those crucial critical thinking skills. The great thing about escaping is finding a nice surprise in the lock box. These surprises will motivate my students to focus and finish their escape room challenge. Please help give our science students some cool prizes to put in the lock boxes. Thank you.
