Today we have the last of four sessions of Where in MI? There are 48 classes participating in the Michigan Week Exchange project, and 15 Where in Michigan classes participating. There were 17 WIM registrations originally, but 2 classes dropped due to scheduling conflicts. Participation numbers are down slightly from past years, but are still pretty respectable, considering the State curriculum changes for 3rd/4th grade.
This session of Where in MI had 4 classes participating, with 1 presenting their own location, and the other 3 presenting other places around Michigan.
1 class shared their clues in riddle/rhyme format via PowerPoint. Two classes shared their clues with posters, and another class did a game show.
The students were creative with their clarifying questions. Some students asked:
- Is your mystery city population 8000?
- Is your mystery city west of Cassopolis?
- Do the Blue Angels perform in or near your city?
Everyone worked hard to research and figure out the clues presented by the other classes.
The groups were a mix of 3rd and 4th grade classes due to the changing Michigan curriculum. Next year will probably be all 3rd grade classes. We hope you can join us for Where in MI or MI Week Exchange next year!
