Social Studies Quiz

On Thursday we will have a social studies quiz covering the information we have learned the last few days. We have been studying Michigan geography and have learned that geographers ask questions such as: what is it like? and where is it?  We have been learning about the natural characteristics of Michigan. These include the landforms and bodies of water. We have read about the landforms and bodies of water and found them on the map. We have discussed them and taken notes. Your child should be bringing home an informational sheet and a chart with the notes we have studied. Please help your third grader study, understand, and name the landforms and bodies of water for our quiz on Thursday. Thank you!
