History of Michigan

Our second and third graders are finishing up our social studies unit on Michigan history. As we have been working through this unit of social studies we have been reading through our Michigan textbook as well as other trade books to discover somewhat of a timeline on the events that have happened throughout the history of Michigan as well as what life was like in Michigan hundreds of years ago. We often go through parts of our text together as a class in order to we answer questions about Michigan history. But for a bit of a change, last week we mixed things up and partnered up to answer questions by reading through the text. Students did an awesome job of reading through the social studies text and answering questions about the Toledo War and how Michigan became a state!
