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.
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

Special
Thanks! Another
Stellar Performance |
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 we'll learn more when
we read their written Introductions on May 5. |
