Government

Government Songs

For Social Studies we were supposed to make songs on the branches of government we were assigned to and our group got assigned to the Judicial Branch. We did a poem and the boys acted it out and the girls read the poem. I learned that the Judge has a term that will last for a life term and cannot be fired untill he quits. You must be 25 years old and you have to be born in the USA or have parents that are born in the USA.

Constitution

This is a poster that has all the facts, ages, and terms of all of the branches. I learned that all of the branches need to have a person that is born in the USA or parents that are born in the USA. All of the branches keep eachother in check and none have too much power. We wrote constitutions in class to say what we would do if we owned the school. Mine said some things that are funny and some things that are scary for the kids that would have to deal with them. I think my school would be popular in the kids minds but not in the parents minds.

Reflection

I liked this session of social studies a lot and I am sad that is over. The part that I liked the most was the songs and the posters. I hope we do something similar next year.
