This week's featured guest blog post comes from Sabra Timmins, who works as an ESOL teacher (students who speak English as a Second or Other Language) with our English Learners. This was an after school club she coordinated with other teachers for any students in 4th and 5th grades this winter.
What do a Haunted Laboratory, a Bigfoot Conspiracy, and a Mystery Without the Usual Suspects have in common?
These are all escape challenges that student groups designed for each other as part of BBES's first Escape Club. During the 6 weeks of the program thirty-five 4th and 5th graders met after school to crack codes, solve riddles, and work out work problems to sharpen their logic skills and become better cooperative problem solvers.
Everyone had a lot of fun and we were impressed with the creativity these students brought to their designs.
