Student Comments:
Here’s a kid comment from April 2009 MysteryQuests.
It was great! Problem solving at its best! Really fun. One student comment after I explained we would miss recess: “That’s ok, this is a lot more fun than recess.” Quite the compliment! Thanks for making it possible. -Linda Cokley in Missouri
