GIVEAWAY CLOSED. WINNERS HAVE BEEN MESSAGED.🤩

I’ve been creating digital escape rooms through BOOM! Learning since mid-December and I’ve enjoyed a level of success with my Christmas and New Year’s BOOM! Escape Rooms.

These escape rooms are great fun and can be used as a springboard for activities related to the holiday/season or as icebreakers during virtual or even face-to-face learning.

Now, I would like to give four of my followers a chance to try four of my six escape rooms. Just do the following:

1. Like or love this post.
2. In the comments, type which one you’d love to try.
3. Tag a friend or two for an extra entry.

It’s that easy. I’ll be picking a winner for each of these BOOM! Cards escape rooms by the end of the week.😍

I’ll be adding the links to these escape rooms in the comments in case you’d like to grab them and can’t wait till Friday.

This giveaway is not endorsed by or affiliated with Facebook, TpT or BOOM! Learning.

Hi, y’all! I’ve been on holidays since last we Hi, y’all! I’ve been on holidays since last week and oh boy, it’s been so great! I’ve enjoyed sleeping in, going to the beach, eating out and shopping with the family. I’m also taking the time to declutter my house, work on my business and study for a church event later this week. How awesome it is to be able to take a break from school and just be kind to myself. How are YOU being kind to yourself?

Hello, everyone! I took a break for a week after s Hello, everyone! I took a break for a week after somebody made a fake account using a similar username and my Instagram images. It’s a sad reminder of how much evil there is in the world right now. However, I also got a lot of support from lovely teachers and real-life friends who rallied behind me to report the fake account and have it taken down. Here are some virtual @danielsdonutsaustralia donuts and canolis for you, guys! God bless you! Swipe to see the canolis. First time to have them and now I’m a fan 😄

I’m on a mission to find little joys in each day and it’s only appropriate to be really happy in the photo.😁 Yesterday, I had a couple of joys: A student who thanked me for ‘an amazing lesson’ and another one who volunteered to read out loud despite his reading difficulties (and doing it well)!

Fall, teachers, and apples have been connected for Fall, teachers, and apples have been connected for as far as anyone can remember, but most folks don’t know why. The most popular theory seems to stem (pun intended 😊) from the pioneer days when families often paid the teacher with produce. Apples were often given as a gift of appreciation. “An apple for the teacher” became a popular slogan and nowadays back to school crafts and units feature shiny red apples at their core (Sorry, couldn’t help myself!).

For you own back to school nod to the apple’s place in school history, why not try one of my Fall STEM Activities, the Apple Sling Shot STEM Challenge? Challenge your students to design and build a slingshot for launching apples using a y-shaped tree branch, felt, rubber bands, and a stapler. You can also modify the task and include any other materials you would like. Small pumpkins, acorns, or even crab apples can be used in place of regular apples.
