Two of our 5th grade teachers, Miss Burmeister and Mrs. Bouwens, stayed cool this summer in the Upper Peninsula learning about Michigan history.
In this photo, we are at Cliff’s taconite mine. The underground iron ore mines were in full operation from 1867-1967. The upper peninsula of Michigan is rich with iron ore and the mine location along Lake Superior is the perfect location for shipping the ore to other parts of the country.
Mrs. Bouwens and Miss Burmeister are standing with a group of teachers in front of a huge truck with GIGANTIC tires. Can you find them?
