🚨 The Solve the Mystery board is up! 🍀 My student 🚨 The Solve the Mystery board is up! 🍀

My students get so excited the moment they see the mystery board. They know it means they are about to become detectives. In this St. Patrick’s Day challenge, students complete 9 fun math and ELA tasks to earn clues and solve who took the pot of gold, when it was taken, and where it was hidden.
The excitement builds with every clue, and the activity ends with awards, leprechaun headbands, and a fun story ending. It truly becomes the BEST DAY EVER in our classroom. 🕵️‍♀️🌈
