Breakout Box!

Our first week back together after our Christmas vacation, we all enjoyed a new first! Mrs. Seward, one of our district's Learning Design Coaches, helped us as we attempted first grade's first ever Breakout box! Breakout boxes allow opportunities for critical thinking, teamwork, complex problem solving, and can be used in all content areas. During our Breakout session, first graders worked in small groups and as a large group, to solve 5 clues to unlock a variety of locks. In the end we gained some new bookmarks, but the excitement as the locks began to click open was the real reward and major fun!! Be sure to ask your child about this special activity!
