A History Mystery

5th Graders ~ Did you know that the game of Monopoly helped save British POW's during World War II?    The 3rd Grade SPACE students and I have an awesome discussion about how a little creative problem solving helped a third of the British POW's escape!   Read more about it here.   ;) 

3rd graders ~ Please share this link with your parents.  It has actual pictures of the maps they used and other cool details!  Enjoy!
