I've ordered these from different companies and I'm scanning everything I can and recreating everything I can't. If there's a website to visit, phone number to call, or email to send, don't worry; I've checked it out myself, and it's safe.

Who Doesn't Love a Mystery?
Let's figure out who stole the necklace.
You know that I keep asking for textual support for your answers, arguments and opinions. This is not just a school skill, it's a life skill - being able to explain WHY you believe what you believe helps others understand your position and will help sway them to see things your way if that's your goal.
When detectives identify the suspect in a case, they have to have evidence to support their conclusion which makes solving little mysteries a fun way to practice not only a school skill, but a life skill.
Remember: We learn for life, not for school.
