Mystery Location Skype
Our class participated in a Mystery Location Skype with another third grade class. We had to use information given to us by the other class to figure out where they were located in South Carolina. We also had to answer their questions about where we lived. We solved the mystery first and discovered that they lived in Mount Pleasant.
