Teacher
Tip: Time to Celebrate! |
You've
all worked very hard and learned so much in these last eleven weeks.
Teacher Barb DeSantis from New Jersey holds a celebration when the
secret locations are revealed, and she invites a few people who
helped the students on their quest.
As Barb says, "whether our answers are right or wrong, it is
the learning that counts!" Now that's something to celebrate.

Look
How Far You've Come |
If the contest portion of Mystery Class doesn't result with you
finding all ten secret locations, will you feel disappointed? It's
natural if you do. But it may help if you try having a positive
attitude. You've got much to be proud of. Just think how far you've
come and how much you've learned in eleven short weeks!

Happy
Earth Day Quiz: How Big is Your Footprint? |
In
Mystery Class, you've traveled the world searching for faraway places,
new knowledge and your secret mystery friends. But actually, you and
your new friends have been "connected" all along. Whether
you live in Zurich, Zagreb, Zwerndorf or somewhere else, the fact
is we all share the same global Web of Life. Every
day we each have an impact on the planet, or as some call it an
"ecological footprint." How does your footprint measure
up? Are you living large, with an ecological footprint exceeding
the world average? Or do you walk softly and responsibly, leaving
a smaller footprint? It's time to find out!
