Halloween BREAKOUT!

What do you do when it's Halloween, Monday, and Book Character Day?!?!? Why, a Monster Mash Breakout EDU, of course!

Our motto is: why fight it? Buckle up and embrace the fun!

We started by reserving the auditorium and positioning divider walls to create 6 Breakout Rooms. We  mixed up our classes and divided students into teams of 6-8.  They had 45 minutes to Breakout and EVERY.SINGLE.TEAM.DID! It was AWESOME!

If you haven't tried a Breakout EDU yet...what are you waiting for? It was the best 45 minutes of collaboration and problem solving we've had all year! It's amazing and inspiring to see students step up for the challenge. Especially those students who don't typically do so in class.  

We hope you enjoy some photos of our morning!
