Thrifting!

We had a lot of fun exploring this thrift shop today and learning about repurposing/reusing things! I have seen posters around Cary Academy talking about fast fashion and why buying second-hand clothes is better for the environment. It was nice to be able to connect what we did today back to things going on at school. One thing that surprised me at the thrift store was that there were greeting cards. I never thought those were things that people would donate. I would think they would get used but apparently not!

Escape Room!

We started off our day by taking a personality test. We each were then assigned a trait and got to see our roles in groups, strategies we would use, and different percentages of traits that people have like introverted vs extroverted, intuitive vs observant, etc. My personality trait was turbulent virtuoso which meant that in the group my role aligned with being utilitarian, practical, and spontaneous, shining in situations that require quick reaction and ability to think on my feet, a master of tools and techniques.

After we took the tests we went for a quick lunch and then headed to the escape room. We used teamwork to crack the codes and got out with 15 minutes to spare. I think the personality tests we took helped us figure out who was going to play what role in the escape room and made us more efficient. Overall it was a really fun day!
