Mystery Skype

Have you heard your child talking about our Mystery Skype sessions? If not, be sure to ask them. This week each class skyped with another class somewhere in the United States. Students used google maps, atlases, and paper maps to help them locate where the mystery class was located. Students took turns asking questions to narrow down where the other class lived. Some examples: Do you border an ocean? Do you get snow? Are you near the Mississippi River? Do you live in the Southern part of our country?

We were able to figure out each state in every class and narrow it down to the closest city. My homeroom skyped with San Diego, California. Mrs. Randall's class got Austin, Texas and Mrs. Felice's class had Dunedin, Florida.

The kids had a blast! Someone from each homeroom told me they wished we could do this EVERY day in social studies😊
