Two Hoots and A Holler

Hoot #1
My class got to do an escape room at school!  With the help of our Title I teacher, it was a HUGE success!  The students were all engaged and had a blast!  It all started when the mad scientist hid clues to keep them from escaping and getting their prizes.  Students had to count objects and search for clues around the room as they worked in teams.  It was hilarious to watch their faces and hear the conversations that took place!  Before we began, I told them that they would be like detectives who had clues to find and a mystery to solve.  They insisted on bringing "spy glasses" with them on this adventure!  I was so proud of how well they worked together!  And every team escaped with 10 minutes to spare!!!  We can't wait to do another escape room!! 


















 
Hoot #2
We are 100 days smarter! We created stations for the students to do. They each were given an exit ticket. As they finished one they simply moved on to the next.  We had an awesome day! These students have worked had and have really grown. You can see a video of all of the centers on our Facebook page.

This Week's Holler...
This week's holler goes out to all of the teachers out there!! Everyone know that there is a teacher shortage. It is understandable. Daily, it seems, there are more and more demands being put on us on top of teaching our children. At times it can seem impossible, but you get up every morning and give it 100%. You make it happen for these kids. You stand strong for their rights as well as yours. You are a fighter. Keep fighting the good fight.
