To engage fifth-grade students in their studies and increase their understanding of math, science and social studies concepts, middle school teacher Scott Garofola recently turned his classroom into an escape room.

As part of the activity, students had to use teamwork and their problem-solving and critical thinking skills to “escape” from their classroom that was filled with clues. Clues included invisible ink letters, hollowed out books and interactive puzzles that were all linked to lessons the students have been working on. #engageHB
