Social Studies
We have just wrapped up our study of the Bill of Rights. Your learner should be able to tell you what each of the 10 amendments protects! We are now beginning a short unit on Presidential Elections. The learners will learn about the election and voting process. We will not be studying the specific candidates or their specific political beliefs. The learners will, however, have the opportunity to participate in a mock election in which they'll vote for either Duck or Squid for president! They are excited about this opportunity.
