Social Studies
The students in room 122 have completed Chapter 5 in their Meet Michigan Textbook. Chapter 5 is “Michigan Grows Up”. The big ideas in this chapter were: good dirt helped Michigan grow as a state, trees help Michigan grow as a state, underground resources help Michigan grow as a state, moving people and products, putting resources to work-how our town grew, the car business zooms along, and a terrible business slow down.
Congratulations to Peyton W., Ava, Abagail, Gabrio, Grace, Beth, Julia, Davian, Molly, and Jenna for earning 100% on their chapter 5 Social Studies test!
Our next chapter is chapter 6: Michigan Today and Tomorrow.
