Our donation box is filling up!

Our Class Making A Difference:
As we enter the winter months, we realize that not everyone has access to warm socks, hats, gloves, or mittens. These are essential items for a Michigan winter! Our class would like to bless others by collecting these items to then be donated to area shelters and/or food pantries so they can be distributed to those in need.

If you are able, please send in new socks, hats, gloves/mittens. All sizes, kids through adult!
We will collect items through December 16. I will plan to drop the items off, but if you have a
place in mind and would be willing to do a drop off, please let me know!

Regions that Michigan belongs to: The Midwest and The Great Lakes.

Regions that Michigan can be divided into:

Upper and Lower Peninsula

Upper Peninsula, Northern Lower Peninsula, and Southern Lower Peninsula

Unique Regions of Michigan:

A study guide will go home tonight. Students should be able to explain why these areas are regions. What are the features they have in common? What makes them different from other regions?
