We've done a lot of Mystery Skypes in the libraries, but last week Mrs. Evans' 5th grade had one unlike any we've ever done before: a Mystery Skype with a National Park Ranger! Similar to previous Mystery Skypes, the class had to guess the location of the person we were Skyping with, but this time the location was a National Park and they were Skyping with a ranger rather than another class. To prepare for this Skype, the class learned a bit about the National Park Service as well as practiced by playing "guess what National Park I'm thinking of" with a partner.
Mrs. Evans' class correctly guessed that Ranger Matt was in Yellowstone National Park after asking him a series of yes or no questions. Ranger Matt then used the remainder of our Skype to talk with the class about some of the amazing hydrothermal features that Yellowstone National Park has, including geysers and hot springs, as well as the variety of wildlife that live in Yellowstone. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn more about a place that I hope many will someday visit!
