Mystery Week!

Fourth Grade Mystery WeekThe fourth graders were detectives all week!


The tree topper from their Christmas tree went missing over the weekend of December 11-12. A note was left behind saying the ornament was borrowed, but would not be returned unless the students found the borrower.


When they arrived on Monday morning, they recruited Gina Watkiss to help them collect evidence at the "crime scene." Everyone was a suspect! The fourth graders interviewed, fingerprinted, and photographed many questionable characters. They conducted forensic lab work - analyzing fingerprints, footprints, hair samples, and handwriting. By Thursday afternoon, they had narrowed down the results and discovered the "thief" - computer teacher Mrs. Susan Heard!


The fourth grade detectives loved Mystery Week and had fun learning about detective and forensic work.
