Mobile Escape - Day 7
Today we tested our Locked Room to make sure people could solve it. Some people were Munchkins waiting to be rescued, while other were "parents". We discovered that when we worked together, and followed the rule of solving the puzzles before trying to open the door, we could solve the code! We rescued the Munchkins!

Mobile Escape - Day 6
Today was our last "Building Day". We put finishing touches on all the work, and will test our room tomorrow. We hope you can come and try our room out!
PS - The Grade 1 students are asked to wear "Rainbow" clothes for the evening!

Mobile Escape - Day 5
The students worked in groups to decorate the Tornado, the bricks for the Yellow Brick Road and created patterns for strips to decorate the Emerald City Castle.

Mobile Escape - Day 4
Today we added elements to complete the weather scenes for our Escape Room. We made: Snowflakes for Winter, Clouds, Raindrops and Buds for Spring and Green Leaves for Summer.

Mobile Escape - Day 3
Today the students worked on individual pieces for the Escape Room. They worked together to create trees, branches, leaves, Scarecrow and a Banner for the room. Everyone contributed and worked collaboratively.

Mobile Escape - Day 2
Today we were planning on items to include in our Locked Room. We worked on creating elements that would need to be included in our Room. At the end of class, we discussed what pictures we liked, and then realized that we missed some elements that need to be in a locked room. It helped us plan and revise our ideas.

Mobile Escape Day 1
The students were learning how to create a camoflague puzzle using numbers hidden in weather pictures. Enjoy!

If you are looking for ways to support your child's learning, playing letter/sound games are of great benefit to many students. Play games like I Spy, but instead of naming a colour, name a sound and have the child find that. ie: I'm looking for a word that begins with the sound "w". (Window)
