This class takes students on a journey of learning all the way from the
first inhabitants of our state to Michigan today in the 21st century. It
is a class that will give your child so much insight into where they
live as they grow up. Many adults do not know much of what your child
will learn and discover throughout the year. "Why is Detroit named
Detroit? What were the original Native American tribes of our state? Who
explored our state and why? What counties, cities, and rivers have
Native American names? How was the Mackinac Bridge built? How do the Soo
Locks work?" These and so many more fun things are part of our
learning! Michigan history truly comes alive for the children in this
class. This class has minimal homework, approximately 30 minutes per
week.
