Such a great resource that myself and my students loved!

This was the perfect resource for Earth Day! Reading passages were engaging and on grade level.
First Grade Fun Again –
I enjoyed this so much. The kids did the Google version. I had to have them paper-pencil the answer sheet because they would click until they found the correct answer on the Google Sheets.
Jennifer Crawford –
My kids do alot of these escape rooms but this one my gifted kids struggled with.
Katie D. –
My students love working on these. They can independently work on these. They can decide if they want to read themselves or have the computer read everything to them. Self-paced and fun!

This was a great resource, but it was a little hard for my kids…and me at times.

My students were about equally split between those who were engaged and those who became frustrated and lost interest. For next Earth Day I think I will just use some of the reading passages as a whole group activity.

Miss E’s Explorations –
I used this escape room in our science pollution unit and I loved how it tied in some reading skills at the same time. I did have several students get frustrated with the process – not knowing which question was incorrect. However, I appreciate how it makes students read and review their work without allowing them to just guess until they get it right.
