All in all, it was a great first week! Day one, after the standard syllabus and rules/expectations overview, the students got to know the classroom a bit better through a digital escape room! Clues asked them to find answers on the class website, Google Classroom, and around the physical classroom itself. They worked well together in their desk pods to see which group could solve the puzzles first and break out. Thursday and Friday consisted of diagnostic tests, but we had a little fun on Friday with our first New Yorker cartoon caption contest. See the highlights below! Period 1
