Exeter-Milligan Update: 5th Grade Mystery Skype



Exeter-Milligan 5th grade news by Rachel Lucas, 5th grade teacher
On Friday, September 27, the fifth grade class participated in a Mystery Skype. A Mystery Skype is a program used with the video messaging system, Skype, where students use questioning and deduction skills to figure out where the other class is "Skyping" from. After asking a series of yes or no questions, we were able to pinpoint the location of the other fifth grade class. They were from Council Bluffs, Iowa.

The fifth grade had a great time as this was their first Mystery Skype. They can't wait to do this again throughout the year.
