My Students

Third grade is a unique grade. They are still "little" in the eyes of many adults, but they are itching to be fully independent just like the big kids. They are also still very enthusiastic and inquisitive learners. I don't want to stifle their curiosity and energy about learning. Instead, I want to use this to my advantage to build skills that will help them to be more independent, creative, and just like the big kids they dream of becoming.

My Project

I am asking for a variety of locks, a tool box with a tray, stain detector and other the materials to create a BreakoutEDU kit. My students need the BreakoutEDU kit to help me nurture and develop their creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking so they can become fluent in vital 21st century skills. I want my students to succeed in life and a BreakoutEDU kit is a uncommon way to help them become productive citizens, and not only in our classroom community. BreakoutEDU is very similar to the breakout rooms that are becoming more popular around the world. However, instead of being locked in a room and using clues to get out, the kids are working together as class or in teams to solve a mystery and break into a box or boxes that are locked with a variety of locks. The breakout mysteries must be solved within forty-five minutes which helps teach the students how to work effectively under the pressure of a time limit. The mysteries can also be tied to a variety of subject areas and the items in the kit contain everything needed to play over 250 games in our classroom! Not only does BreakoutEDU help teach 21st century life skills, but it ties to our daily curriculum and can be used over and over again.

This BreakoutEDU kit will push my students out of their comfort zone and require them to work together, communicate effectively, and be creative problem solvers.

My goal as their teacher is to develop students that are not only ready for the next grade, but are ready for life. This kit would help me to do so.
