Congrats to Mrs. Wilcox’s Anatomy class and Ms. Carlisle and Ms. Barranco's Senior Literature classes for breaking out! With Breakout EDU participants work together to find and solve clues around the room to open each of the locks. As soon as students see the locked box, they are immediately driven by the challenge to get it open. These students used their knowledge of the skeletal system or Macbeth to break in and get the job done!
Way to go Panthers!
Mr. Strother’s class took coding to new levels using Cubelets and physically bringing them together to manipulate their coding to meet challenges as a team! Great job, Panthers!
