I have 31 awesome students who vary tremendously in their abilities and interests. I try to present the fifth grade core content in a way that gets them excited to learn while allowing them to be confident and successful. My students love learning when they are able to have hands-on experiences to discover the reasons behind phenomena they see in the world around them.
My students are enthusiastic to learn despite the many challenges they face.
The school I teach at is located in a low income area. My school was 1% away from being qualified as a Title l so we do not receive extra funding and resources for being low income. With a lack of funding, it is extremely difficult to provide the exciting and challenging opportunities that my students need to improve.
My Project
I love going to escape rooms and I'm excited for my students to have the same experience in the classroom. To create this experience for my students, I will put clues around the room and in a small box. My students will then solve the clues to be able to unlock all of the locks on the boxes and break out. I will be able to create break out box experiences that relate to a variety of subjects including math, social studies, and science.
When working on break out boxes, my students will be practicing a variety of skills.
They will have to work as a team and work on communicating with each other. They will also have to think critically and creatively as they solve the clues. A big thing they will learn is to preserve and not give up.
