Funded Nov 13, 2024It is with deep gratitude that I write to thank you for the Breakout EDU Kit and Digital Platform access, which you generously donated for my students. These resources will provide continued access for students at all grade levels to participate in innovative learning experiences that require collaboration, communication, and innovative thinking!
I have designed Breakout EDU experiences for our students at all grade levels and connected to all areas of the curriculum, for students to access in our Library Media Center. When they participate in a Breakout EDU game, students develop important skills for collaborating and communicating, they persevere towards a challenging goal, they become comfortable taking risks and they continually revise their thinking while overcoming frustration and failure.
Students love the hands-on locks and puzzles for more of a competitive game, but in small groups or individuality, students love to challenge themselves with the digital games as well.
With Breakout EDU, we have had frustration and productive struggle, intense conversations in which a group member has passionately justified their thinking to their teammates, there has been defeat when a solution did not work, and there has been cheering and celebrations when a solution did work. Above all, there has been engagement, collaboration, and perseverance. Teachers are loving it, too!
Thank you for giving my students the tools they need to learn in a meaningful way as they develop critical 21st century skills. This Breakout EDU kit will benefit students for years to come. Thank you for caring about my students' education!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Hubert
