Please
Remember--Winning Isn't Everything!
Sometimes we all
focus too much on "winning". So please be sure to remind
your students that first and foremost, Mystery Class is about learning.
The contest portion is secondary.
Everyone is a winner and should take a minute to high five each other
for coming so far and learning so much so fast. Watch Veteran Teacher
Cathie Plaehn's uplifting pat on the back:

Latitude Shoes Travel Report
Speaking of coming a long way, be sure to read the Latitude Shoes Travel Report from third grade student MengMeng (pronounced "MongMong") from Ms. Patricia McCarthy's PEAK school class in Mississippi.
You'll love the details of her high velocity artwork and all the fascinating people, places, and things she observed as her shoe thrusters propelled her around the world in just 24 hours. Thanks MengMeng!

Another Stellar Performance! Special Thanks
Before going any further, we want to send a special thanks to our astronomy expert, Rod Nerdahl. For many years Rod has carefully researched and provided us with standard sunrise/sunset and latitude/longitude data to keep our listings "on time". Plus we thank Rod for his insights about testing the Egg balancing on the Equinox myth. Ad astra (To the stars), Rod!
A World of Top Secret Thanks
We'd also like to thank the ten secret Mystery Sites, but since you're still top secret, we'll save our full thanks for a few more weeks. Then, we'll tell the world all about you, and we can't wait!
The secret sites have all worked so hard. And as we'll learn when we read their written Introductions on May 6, several secret sites are living amidst major political changes that have totally changed their daily lives.
