My Students
As a teacher and the K-5 Science Content Leader in a Title I Elementary School, I often times notice that our students are not exposed to science outside of the classroom. Over 70% of our campus is on free/reduced lunch, and often times we have students who are not capable of even having their parents supply their own school supplies.
Our school is located in an area that was hit and affected by Hurricane Harvey, but our students are actively coming to school eager to learn.
In my classroom I work hard to ensure a safe, secure and comfortable environment for learning and seek ways to make learning innovative. We have created a culture on our campus where our students actually look forward to the bus pulling up at their houses in the morning to bring them to school.
These kids will take advantage of any learning opportunity that is brought their way. Our motto at our campus is reach for the stars, and our students do their best to reach beyond them.
My Project
Science is comprised of hands-on learning, but it also has an investigative/inquiry component. Through STEM centered activities, we will create an escape room to increase student interest in science, and create an environment that students will remember from years to come.
One of the greatest impacts of an escape room is that it can make science 10 times more engaging than it already is especially for elementary students as it gives them opportunities to collaborate with other students, and could lead to improving their social skills while building on academic knowledge!
These escape rooms are beneficial to all types of learners and engages 100% of the class the entire time. These supplies (boxes, padlocks and more)can be reused for several years leading to 100's of students engaging in fun learning.
The way the escape room works is an academic science puzzle is used, and the students have to decipher the code (answer) in order to unlock the safe. This is an innovative way to engage learners.
