    "Quotable Quotes"
    - Mystery class has offered my students an opportunity to learn all about the world in a way that is both engaging and challenging. With only 12 students in the class, mystery class became a full time job every Friday (and many days between). 4 groups of three children (grades 3-5) worked collaboratively to come up with solutions for 2 or 3 sites.
    An interesting note, many of my students (8) missed the first interdisciplinary clue due to the fact that they were in COSTA RICA for 2 weeks. The thought that one of the mystery sites could be in Costa Rica has given us endless excitement.
