Mrs. Kelly's second graders celebrated Michigan's 189th year of statehood by throwing a birthday party! Students learned about the state symbols, natural resources, and other key information that makes our state unique. They created their own map by tracing their hands. Students also enjoyed a sweet treat while learning about our Great Lakes State!
