On Friday we did our first Mystery Skype call.
A Mystery Skype call is when two classes Skype each other, but neither one knows where the other is located. The mission is to figure out where the other class is simply by asking “yes” or “no” questions.

Our Mystery Skypers
We split into different groups, with different jobs, to accomplish our mission.

We had a lot of fun, learned a lot, and had plenty of ideas for how to improve on out next Mystery Skype Call.
Thank you to Mrs. McConnell’s and Mrs. Monger’s class for Skyping with us! (We will be working with them again very soon, when we start The Global Read Aloud next week! Stay tuned for more about that…)
