Our 4B class participated in a unique activity last month, Mystery Skype, where they were paired with another school in the world and tasked with using their detective skills to guess the location of that school. Specific duties of this task included asking questions, researching, taking notes, tweeting, and reporting to solve the mystery of just where the school was located. Students had a blast, while also actively learning, and found out the school was a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) School in West Valley City, UT!

This Mystery Skype activity relates to many different facets of our school and the inquiry-based model. By learning geography and research skills, and collaborating with peers and reporting findings to class, this directly relates to the PYP profile and who our students are as a community.
