Today in class we read "The Legend of Michigan." This explained the Native American legend of how Michigan got to have 4 seasons and why Michigan is shaped like a mitten. We followed up by pointing out what makes this story a legend (because it answers a question about nature "Why is Michigan shaped like a Mitten?") and then made a story map of the characters, beginning, middle, and end. The kids did great with this! when we were finished I showed them a map of Michigan and we pointed out some of the cities we had heard of/ went to. We looked at Harper Woods and Detroit, Lansing, Traverse City, etc. One boy raised his hand and asked me to point out where "Out of Town" is because his dad is always having to go there. Haha :)
In math we played our game and then had an assembly. Ask your child tonight to share with you what we saw from the presenters!
