Second Mystery Skype

Today we had our second Mystery Skype of the school year. Our classroom Mystery Skyped Mrs. Nieman’s third grade class. Mrs. Nieman’s class provided us with the following clues to help us guide our research:

     -We have a mountain in our state
     -Right now we are experiencing a mixture of climate changes from 60 degrees to 90 degress
     -We are close to another country
     -We have 3 mottoes on our state flag
     -Earvin Magic Johnson was born in our state
     -We have a famous island
     -We produce more cereal than any other state
     -We have famous sand dunes
     -Henry Ford is someone famous from our state

After our Mystery Skype we used the clue’s Mrs. Nieman’s class provided us to formulate questions. We then typed our questions into the Google search engine.

Our classroom believes Mrs. Nieman’s class is in Michigan because:
    - Michigan borders Canada. (We discussed how we have a connection with Mrs. Nieman’s class because Vermont also borders Canada.)
     - Michigan has a famous island called Mackinac Island.
     - Michigan produces more cereal than any other state.
    - Henry Ford is from Michigan.

Tomorrow we will be Mystery Skyping with Mrs. Nieman’s class to see if our Michigan guess is correct!
