4th GRADE: BECOMING A

GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL

 

Students receive hands-on experience learning about our local and state governments.  4th graders simulate the creation and passing of bills into laws to grasp the purpose of our state’s senate and assembly.  They also prepare and participate in a mock trial to gain an understanding of the judiciary process.
