Watching them debate ideas, encourage one another, and celebrate each small success was incredibly rewarding.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we are integrating breakout activities into our reading and math units. Students are currently preparing for a STEM-themed breakout where they will apply their knowledge of problem-solving and experimentation to crack codes and complete tasks.
