Over the past few weeks, 3/4 classes in the library have been practicing for a Mystery Skype. They've learned US geography and map-reading skills in order to prepare.
Today, we finally had a chance to put those skills to use! Mrs. Sorensen's class played the Mystery Skype game with another class somewhere in the United States, and through careful deduction and teamwork, they were able to discover that the other class was located in the state of Illinois! Best of all, they figured it out before the Illinois team guessed that we were in Connecticut!
Mystery Skyping requires each team to ask each other yes/no questions to logically deduce where the other team is located. Below, you can see a video that another school made of their first Mystery Skype.
