🔎 Mystery Unlocked in 4th Grade! 🕵️♀️
Mrs. Vagnoni’s classes kicked off their next unit in the most exciting way — with Breakout Boxes! Students worked together to solve clues, crack codes, and unlock boxes to reveal their new unit of study: Mystery!
It was an engaging, hands-on way to get everyone thinking critically, collaborating, and getting excited for all the learning ahead.
