Thanks as Big as the World!
Here's to the 10 Mystery Classes! You did such a
great job preparing and sharing clues and information from your part of
the world. Take a look at these compliments to you below!
"I enjoyed learning about different parts of the world, it's people, and customs this way. I am looking forward to doing another Mystery Class, and now to meeting the mystery friends and learning more about them." Luke, Grade 5
"We really enjoyed this activity because we learned about new counties and cities. Now that we know about latitude, longitude and photoperiod, we understand why different locations around the world have different times and length of days. Thanks to all the Mystery Classes for sending such great clues." Ms. Hall's grade 5 class, Scarborough Ontario, Canada
The time has come! Now you'll meet your new Mystery Friends (plus one even sent along some edible geography--the famous cookie recipe!)
We Meet At Last!
Your new Mystery friends have really been waiting for this day to come. They deserve a standing ovation and a big thank you! In addition to all the time and effort they devoted to thinking up their unique and interesting clues, they also prepared their Introductions and photos that you'll finally get to see today.
And for all this time, they also did one of the hardest things for anyone to do--they kept their identity a secret! We hope you enjoy meeting your new friends!
