It was wonderful seeing you for Curriculum Night!
We are excited to partner with you this year and can't wait to see all of the learning and growth that will happen in rooms 205 and 207!
As part of our introduction to this year’s Social Studies curriculum, which focuses on the state of Michigan, your child brought home a postcard letter. We’re asking each student to share their favorite place in Michigan! We would love to have this turned in by Friday, September 19th. These will be shared and displayed as we begin exploring all the wonderful places that make Michigan special!
Have a conversation with your child about their favorite place in Michigan.
Find a picture of that place. You’re welcome to print it at home and attach it to the worksheet. If you’re unable to print at home, feel free to email the picture to me and I’ll be happy to print it for you.
Have your child write a few sentences about why this place is their favorite.
