5th Grade Mystery Festival

We hosted a CSI party!  Who killed Felix?
 
About a dozen of Taylor's classmates came over for a mystery festival.  A crime scene was laid out with back-story provided.  Suspects were interviewed and statements were shared.  Conclusions were quickly drawn by several precocious 10-year olds.
 

But first the detectives needed some nourishment!


The kids really got into it.  They dove in and analyzed the evidence.  They asked good questions and made insightful inferences.


Then they ran experiments on 12 pieces of evidence.


Some very helpful parents hung around to help make sure the stations ran smoothly...thank you!!!


So who killed Felix?  Ask a soon-to-be fifth grader!
