We talked about how Indiana's state government and the US government were set up similar ways. after that we took the rest of the time and discussed the importance of being an INFORMED VOTER. I explained that it is not just voting but knowing who and why you are voting for the person you are voting for. Good discussion and the kids have some very good insight on the issues. Tonight they are to ask a parent or guardian about where they get their information about c Tonight's assignment is to read Chapter 6 section 1 and do a grocery list of terms, people, and events. They will be touched on in part, in the next couple of days.
We took the "relationship" part of the test today So far, so good. Most people did in the B and C range. Very happy about that. We are starting to talk about elections and government and laws and political parties this week and Monday and Tuesday of next.
