In New Jersey we have some nice places for tourists to go to. Two of them are Kingsburg amusement park and a beach called Sandy hook. Do you have any places like these in Michigan? I’ve read on the internet that the weather in Michigan is similar to the weather here in New Jersey it has different seasons, and that in winter a lot of tourists visit the lighthouses and go skiing over there. Is this true? Have you ever gone skiing over there? I think it would be cool to go skiing I think it would be a fun experience because I never gone skiing before.

One really cool fact I learned about your state was about a state fair. This fair was the first of the fairs the United States! I wonder if you think this is cool? Would your search for any information? I was really amazed when I read about this. Are you surprised? I also learned that vernors ginger ale became the first soda pop made in the whole United States. Do you like ginger ale? Are you amazed of all the things that happened in your state? If you knew a lot of interesting facts about your state what would you tell a person who wants to learn more about Michigan?

Michigan I read that Michigan had the 1st state fair in the United States. I picked up on that because I thought it is very interesting. I thought it was very interesting because I didn’t know that State fairs where invented that long ago. In 1849 I thought that there wasn’t any thing like a State fair. Was there things to eat at the State fair? did people talk a lot? Where there rides at the state fair? If there was rides where they scary or relaxing? Did they go high up in the air or did they just go round and round? When the people started talking was it fun? Do u like when they talk? I think that the state fair was interesting when I found out it was invented in 1849 and, its interesting and I want to know more about it!

Hello Michigan, do you have rivers like us in New Jersey? Here in New Jersey we have many rivers where you could go fishing or swimming in them. I heard Michigan has many rivers and lakes and that is why you are so well known. You have a river called Kalamazoo River and I was wondering if it is true that the river extended up to 166 miles? Do you know who founded the river of Kalamazoo? If so when did the person found the river of Kalamazoo? They say that the Kalamazoo appears to be Native American in origin.

Every city, state has to have a river or lake. Like here in New Jersey we have our beach that divides New York with New Jersey. In my research I found out that Michigan has one of the largest lakes, and is the second largest lake in the United States. Is it true that its very big? How do you feel living in the state that has one of the largest lakes?

Michigan

As of 2000, 9,938,444 people lived in Michigan. It is the eight most populous states in the USA. Since Michigan is one of the USA’s popular states, is it hard to get around? Is it very crowded? If so, how do you get around? The cities in New Jersey aren’t really that crowded, though there is a lot of traffic during the afternoon. Although there are a lot of people here in New Jersey, I like it. I like it because you get to know a lot of people. Even though there may be a lot of people in Michigan, do you enjoy it being that way? Why or why not?

Michigan I found some information and I read that in Michigan people like to go snowmobiling, snowboarding and skiing. Here in Perth Amboy people like to go bowling and they also like to play baseball and basketball for fun. Do some people get hurt when they snowmobiling. Over here some people get hurt when they play baseball and basketball because they try to hard and some times something goes wrong. Here in Perth Amboy things are going really weird because it only snowed a little bit this year and we are almost in spring and is warm mostly every day. Are their weird things going on in Michigan that it usually does not happen? If there is can you tell us so may be we can figure out what is going on with Mother Nature.

Michigan is a great name for that state because it represents that state better. Michigan means “great water”, or referring to the great lakes. How is it that you people over there could have such great lakes? How do they look like? Do you need to pay to see them? Are there guards watching them so they don’t become filthy?

You know anybody that works there? Would you like to go there? I haven't gone to Walt Disney but i will like to.

I found out there is a river that passes through Kalamazoo’s downtown. Here where I live there is a bay and some people go there fishing. Are there fishes there? Is the water clean or dirty? Could you go swimming in the summer or is it still too cold? Or do they allow swimmers to go in it? Is there any beaches or rivers to go to in the summer?

Carlos R. 71A In the article I found that Michigan has the Great Lakes and they are important to your state. It is also known for that it is the largest fresh water surface in the world It is also over 2,000 miles long. Here in New Jersey we might not have a Major lake but we have our Delaware River. It is 360 miles long. It goes around New Jersey, New York, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. We sometimes can swim in it. Can you swim in the Great Lakes? Can you ride a boat there.? Can it over flood and go into any other city’s?.

HEY MICHIGAN STUDENTS! Just wondering, do you use your laptops for all your classes? We don’t! We only use them for Language Arts, Social Studies and Science. We used it for math a couple times, but just recently we used it to go on www.PHSchools.com! It’s pretty boring if you ask me. What classes do you enjoy using laptops most? Why? Which class do you think are most boring to use laptops? I would like meet to you and your classmates! It would be interesting to learn about other laptop teams in other states!

I’ve had found out that your state flag has a deep blue background with 2 moose’s and an elk around a blue shield named Tuebor which means “I will defend”. Our flag has a light brownish color, which was selected by George Washington, and we also have a blue shield in the middle with two goddess next to the shield. One is the goddess of liberty and the other goddess of agriculture. What does your flag mean to you? Do you like it how It is or do you think it should be changed if so why and what should the changes be
