Last week we did our fifth Mystery Skype call of the year. Mystery Skype calls are a great way to improve our geography skills, and they also help us improve our problem-solving, teamwork, adaptability, and perseverance.
Below is a video, filmed and narrated by Taylor, showing some of the highlights from our most recent call:
Here is a transcript of the notes taken by our recorder, Stefie:
The start is pretty good and our class is VERY quiet. I think this is going to be a good mystery Skype call. The other class is off to a pretty good start.

All of the groups are doing well. Now the Skype call is getting a little intense. Their class is getting very close to getting to us, and we are getting closer. We kind of got stuck on one of their questions that was, “Does your flag have the background the color blue?” Eventually we answered that, yes, our state flag does have a blue background. Halfway through the call, it started to get loud very fast.
We found out that they live in Massachusetts. The other class found out that we live in CT. They are getting SO close to finding our town! The last question that they asked was,”Do we live in New Haven.” They are in….. Duxbury
