Welcome to the Great Lakes Mitten Tour! This is the first part of a virtual tour I created for my third graders. We needed a way to connect the text to the students. The virtual tour was a great introduction to the history of Michigan. The virtual tour included audio and video clips. The students loved it! Each student had a bus pass and a mitten tour travel pack. The virtual tour was a great addition to the social studies curriculum and made the curriculum come alive!
