WEEK OF OCT 24-28
Students have completed their geography study of Michigan and its natural characteristics. Elevation, climate, population, and land usage maps were sent home Friday. Thank you to all who helped with this wonderful project! The students seemed to love it. Ask them to describe their maps to you and make connections between the maps. For example, "What do you notice about Michigan's climate and elevation? Where do you notice most farming occurring low lands or mountains? Why do you think that is? Where do you notice most people living?
We are moving into study Michigan's history, specifically the study of Michigan's first people: Early American Indians. We will begin a project that will take us up through our holiday break.
Your child will be assigned a group of people to study and present. Parts of the presentation will include a google presentation, a model of the territory/ home, and other elements that will hepl us compare and contrast Michigan's first people.
More information will be sent home and posted here, next week, after we complete our Science project (Newton;s cradle) and our study of energy conservation.
