Hello Participants,
We attend Pere Gabriel Richard Elementary
School in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. Grosse Pointe is a suburb
of Detroit.
Detroit is also know as Motown, the Motorcity
and Hockey Town. Detroit is know for it's auto-industry and Motown
Music.
Grosse Pointe is located on the shores of
Lake St. Claire, north of Detroit. Lake St. Claire, along with
the Detroit River and the St. Claire River, connects Lake Erie
and Lake Huron. This means Lake St. Claire is a major shipping
route. We can often see freighters going through the lake.
Richard (pronounced Rishard) is located a
short two-minute walk from Lake St. Claire. There about 400 students
who attend the school, grades kindergarten through 5. Richard
is named after a French priest ( now a saint) who founded many
schools. There are many schools in our area named "Pere
Gabriel Richard."
We are a fifth grade class made up of eighteen
students, eleven boys and seven girls. We have particpated in
two other Internet projects, which include Postcard Geography
and the Monster project. This is our first time participating
in the landmark game and we can't wait!
