Historic day for CTA!! God bless the Gunnell family who donated ten acres of land to CTA! The future is looking bright for the CHARGERS!!!
Our 4th graders finished up our informational text reading unit with an Escape Room Challenge. They had four rounds of categorizing text into informational, narrative informational, or hybrid informational. After each round of correctly identifying the text, the group got a code card to unlock the chain. The final round of identifying gave them the key to unlock the box to reveal homework passes and gumballs (Their favorites!) They had an absolute blast and worked so hard to "escape the room"!
Amazing stuff is going on here at CTA! What an amazing gift from Fred & Carolee Gunnell to our students, staff, families and the communities we serve! We are World 🌎 Changers! We are CHARGERS!! #blessed #futureplans #proud #teach #dreambig #checkusout #wearechargers
