March 20-31st
We are transitioning from Michigan history into Michigan Economics. We will be doing so, by beginning a PBL (project based learning) unit called
What in the World Did We Do?
This is an exciting expedition that will take us up through the majority of the school year. We will continue covering Michigan history in the twentieth and twenty-first century, Michigan Economics, 21st century skills, as well as many other ELA standards for third grade. Students will be exploring the following question
How can we teach and inspire others to participate in growing Michigan's economy?
We will have a culminate event in May to celebrate any products and information that students will be presenting. An email and paperwork will be sent home updating you on this event as our PBL unfolds. This week our focus remains on Michigan's contributions in the twentieth century. We are also currently trying to plan a field trip to the Henry Ford Museum the week of April 17th to best support this historical study. More information will be sent both electronically and as hard copies.
