MORE FOR TEACHERS & EDUCATORS

Fourth Grade Statewide "Mystery Box" Project
Students learn about a Wisconsin community and their own by participating in an artifact exchange with a classroom in another community. Each class creates a box of "clues" about their city to send and receives one from another school. This project is a great way for students to become more aware of their own community and another Wisconsin city. Email
Cathy Stowers, Mystery Box Coordinator, for more information.
