What's a fun way to practice your geography skills? Mystery Hangouts are a great way to reach out to others and to learn more about geography. Today, our class participated in a Mystery Hangout. Our class met another group of 3rd graders. After introductions, our classes took turns asking questions that would help us narrow down where the other class was. Both classes came up with great questions such as "Are you on the east coast?" and "Are you west of the Mississippi River"?
We figured out after looking at maps and listening to clues that this class was from Kansas! Afterwards, each class shared facts about their state (great review of what we learned earlier in the year).
We had a lot of fun, and were able to review some terminology that helps in social studies!
