Mystery Skype to Alaska

Mystery Skype

"The global guessing game that gets kids learning about geography, culture, and the similarities and differences of how children live all over the world."

Fourth Graders in Mrs. Highgas's Class took a Mystery trip today via Skype to Mr. Daniels Class at K-Beach School from Soldotna, Alaska.

After a quick rock, paper, scissors game both schools took turns trying to figure out where the other school was located. We played by asking Yes or No questions to narrow down our answers. They guessed us first but we soon after discovered where they were located as well. We hope to connect again and learn more about them.

K-Beach School is 4,721 miles from Proctor School. 

It was a short trip via skype but it would have taken 14 hours by airplane

"Today we got to mystery skype with a 5th grade class from Alaska. We all got to ask some great "below the iceberg" questions. From all the questions we asked one of the students in our class guessed where they were and got it right. Some of the things we did well was ask region questions, location questions, and border questions. The class school was K-Beach elementary. There are 400 students and their mascot is the caribou. When we skyped it was 12:35pm in Topsfield, MA but it was 8:35am in Alaska. Overall we had a great skype visit."
