Free March Digital Breakout and More!

Terri Eichholz

Leonardo the Leprechaun is one of my free digital breakouts, and it’s perfect for March. Students in grades 3 and up should be able to do this breakout in 45 minutes or less. Here is a list of all of my digital breakouts. Along that same theme (leprechauns), I also have a free St. Patrick’s Day S.C.A.M.P.E.R. packet available for download as a PDF. You can search on my Downloads page for digital versions or other S.C.A.M.P.E.R. packets. And you can also head on over to my St. Patrick’s Day Wakelet for even more resources for celebrating March 17th.

Of course, St. Patrick’s Day isn’t the only holiday in March. There’s Read Across America Day (March 2), International Women’s Day (March 8th), Pi Day (March 14), and World Poetry Day (March 21). You can get links to activities for all of these on my March Wakelet.

By the way, the next potential SpaceX launch date is on Thursday, March 2 (Read Across America Day), and if all systems are go, a very special book will be going up to space. The book, Astronauts Zoom, by Deborah Lee Rose, will be read by an astronaut for the Storytime from Space program! Congratulations to her and everyone who is helping to make this happen!

TV Tomfoolery

Terri Eichholz

The final math Digital Breakout that I made for my online students (4th grade Gifted and Talented) for this year is TV Tomfoolery.  In case you have missed the series, here are links to all 5:

You can e-mail at engagetheirminds@gmail.com if you need the answers.  However, I that you consider not getting the answers so you won’t help your students too much.  It’s fun to do some of the challenges as a whole class so you can verbalize your own problem-solving steps with the students!

Scholastic Beasts

Terri Eichholz

I am currently offering an online Google Classroom for some students in our district that assigns them one Digital Breakout (Math) a week for 5 weeks.  “Scholastic Beasts” is the 4th one in the series.  For the first three, you can see:

All of these are designed for 4th grade gifted and talented students.  As with the others, you can e-mail me at engagetheirminds@gmail.com with the title of the Digital Breakout if you need the answers – but I find that it’s better to not help your students too much!

Kaled It!

Terri Eichholz

I overheard some of my students talking about a cooking show called, “Nailed It!” and decided to make my next Digital Breakout based on that title.  Because we have been having a few glitches with Google Sites in our district, I decided to use Weebly to create this one.  “Kaled It!” is a bit harder than my 1st and 2nd Digital Breakouts.  Therefore, I thought I would give you some of the clues I just posted for my Google Classroom students: Lock 1 can be answered with “The Milk Dilemma.” Lock 2 will be found on “Shopping.” Lock 3 is answered using “Kale Pesto.” If you want to answer Lock 4, then carefully explore the “Meet the Contestants” page.

As with the first two Digital Breakouts I designed, teachers can e-mail me at engagetheirminds@gmail.com to receive the answers. (Please put the name of the Digital Breakout in the Subject line.)  However, I agree with the one teacher who told me that she enjoyed not knowing the answers because she didn’t help her students too much!

Feebo, Not Chee

Terri Eichholz

Feebo, Not Chee is my latest attempt at doing a Digital Breakout.  Like the previous one, this one is designed for 4th grade students.  Ideally, they would work on it independently.  The pages are not in the same order as the clues, and there are a couple of links to external sites on this one.  If you are an educator who needs answers to this breakout, please e-mail me at engagetheirminds@gmail.com

Leonardo the Leprechaun

Terri Eichholz

I mentioned that I would be trying to create some digital breakouts when I posted this.  Leonardo the Leprechaun is my first attempt, and I thought I would share it with those of you who might be able to use it this week in time for St. Patrick’s Day.

I should tell you that I have already asked my 4th and 5th graders to give this a try, and I made some changes each time based on their feedback.  We definitely had some major issues – one of them being that the new Google Sites is currently blocked in our district.  If your students are unable to access the link, that is probably why, unfortunately.  The other glitches were all my fault, but I’ve hopefully fixed them!

Your students may want to write down the answers they get for each clue, as they will all need to be submitted at the same time in the Google Form.  Answers: 79, 550, 1732, POLYGON

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
