Do you know our class has Mystery Skyped with four other fifth grade classes? So far we have met classes in Massachusetts, New York, Wisconsin and Arizona. Mystery Skype is when we connect with another class through Skype and ask yes or no questions to try to guess where they are located. It's a great way to connect with other students and work on our geography skills. We are also Mystery Chatting with another class through video since they are too far away to Skype. So far we know they are East of the Prime Meridian, North of the equator, English isn't their first language and their citizens don't vote for their leaders. We can't wait to find out where they are!
