This is lots of fun. I use this to reinforce non fiction text features. The students like to get into teams and compete against each other. It is advanced at times and more geared towards third grade, but overall a good resource

Seriously…give me ALL the Escape Rooms! Amazing! My students were engaged, focused, loving EVERY minute, and best of all…they extended their learning. It was perfect for my high readers in 2nd grade. I love the fact that there was ZERO prep on my end.

Hi Kerisa. Everything works on our end. It sounds like you may have a technical issue with internet connection or a school firewall. If you can, please send me a screenshot of the issue you are having so I can try to troubleshoot. I’ve also referred this to TPT tech support if you need further technical assistance.
