Mystery Skype!

This morning, we participated in our very first Mystery Skype!!  A mystery skype is when one class meets up with another class somewhere in the world.  Each class asks a series of yes/no questions to try to determine the location of the mystery class.  Because the Skypers can be anywhere in the world, we had to start with a broad question like:  Do you live in the Northern Hemisphere?   Given that answer, we could then ask about the continent, then the country, and so on.

Eventually, with our cunning detective (& geographic) skills, we were able to locate our new third grade friends at Beechwood Elementary School in Fullerton, California!



They are also reading Fish in a Tree for the Global Read Aloud project and we're hoping to connect again in the future!
