Breakout EDU

We had Breakout EDU last week. Breakout Rooms are popular with many adults. In education, we have Breakout EDUs, where students collaborate with small groups to solve different puzzles. When they solve the puzzle, it allows them a code to unlock various locks. When all the locks are unlocked, there is a secret prize or puzzle inside. 

Breakout EDU was the perfect Bully Prevention Week activity. Students worked together. They had to find way to include others who may not want to join in or may appear left out. They had to manage their enthusiasm to hear all the ideas. They have to persevere even when their first ideas might not work.

 Finally, all the locks were unlocked, and it was time to find out our super secret locked prize.

We won a popcorn party in Dahlager Theater!

Mrs. Stupar, one of our school social workers, who is responsible for our Olweus Bully Prevention program and projects came to speak to our class.

Breakout EDU is often used for the older grades and the ALP (Academic Learners Program). It was exciting for third graders to be included in the activity for the older students. We did very well!
