Tomorrow’s the big night when our escape room goes live. We have five interlocking puzzles. We have lots of fun clues. We’ve rehearsed three times and have a pretty good sense where things go wrong.

As a wrap-up on Wednesday reading circle, we looked at excerpts from this Atlantic article on escape rooms. As we looked at the article, we talked about how our own room reflected these ideals.

“We’re passionate about our school and our escape room will reflect that.”
“There are serious mental rewards as we’ve been doing this.”
“Without reflection you don’t learn nothing.”
“The escape room gave a different way of learning.”

A good circle and a good day.

We also came up with a title; CS suggested Raiders of the Lost Classroom, which got shortened to “The Lost Classroom.”
