Breakout edu
This week, the group decided to go to NPE one last time for this theme. This time, we went to Mrs. Polster's 4th grade class! She decided to split up the groups a little different than the other classes. Each student has a mailbox, and she decided to separate them by even and odd mailboxes. The students who had odd numbered mailboxes went first, and got 13 minutes and 25 seconds. The first group struggled a little bit with the purple directional lock clue, but eventually got it. The second group was the even numbered mailboxes, and they finished with around 9 minutes. Each group got a sucker and had a lot of fun! As a group, we decided that this was the last time we were going to go to NPE for the Spongebob theme. We have still not decided, but we emailed numerous teachers at Sugar Creek Elementary, and plan on going there to present the Spongebob themed breakout box. Once we go there with the Spongebob theme breakout box, we will also be creating a new theme at the same time. We have yet to decide on a theme, but we are currently working on it. Our plan is to hopefully go to Sugar Creek with the Spongebob theme, and then alternate between NPE with the new theme and SCE with the Spongebob theme. The pictures below are the pictures from today's breakout box presentation with Mrs. Polster's 4th grade class! Breakout Number Seven! Our most recent Breakout Box was with Mrs. Cannon's fourth grade class! We really enjoyed going to Sugar Creek Elementary school for the first time as a group. It was a fun and different experience and environment for us to be a part of. As usual, Mrs. Cannon separated the class into two groups. The first group that went got around 11 minutes, which was a pretty good time since the questions were related to what they were learning in class. The second group went and got just over 11 minutes, making the first group that went the winner! Both of the teams did an excellent job of working together and showing leadership. The whole class was very well educated on the topics and were focused on the problems given to them. Below is a picture from Mrs. Cannon's fourth grade class.
Our next plan of action as a group is to go back to Sugar Creek and present our project to three more teachers. The teachers at Sugar Creek really love our idea and are planning to work with us. Unfortunately, on March 7th, we had planned to present our project to two different classes at Sugar Creek, but there was another presenter there that day that involved the entire fourth grade, so we had to reschedule. We are still attempting to reschedule our presentation to a later date. While the group waits for a response from the teachers at Sugar Creek, we are planning to start our second theme, which we believe will be Disney. This may change because this is not a for sure theme yet. All that we know as of now is that we are going to do a second theme and continue to reach out to teachers at various elementary schools to try and present the Breakout Box to their classes.

Our fifth breakout box and fifth teacher was Mrs. Kleine and her fourth graders! For this breakout box, we had a competition between two different teams. Each team consisted of a group of boys and girls who competed with each other. We set up this breakout box in a spare room next to Mrs. Kleine's room. The first group and second group got the exact same time of about eight minutes each! This ended up being the fastest time ever recorded for this themed breakout box for third or fourth graders! Our group has one more breakout box presentation scheduled for next week, and after this one, we plan on changing our theme. We love the Spongebob Squarepants theme, but we've decided to choose a different theme for our further presentations. We believe that this will give us an opportunity to go back to the amazing teachers we have already presented to, as well as explore further ideas and opportunities.
