In Social Studies we are learning about "Our Country." It is the perfect time to learn about "Our Country" because the Presidential Elections are right around the corner. The class has been learning about what Congress, Supreme Court, and the President do. In class we learned that the President makes sure the laws are followed, that Congress makes the laws, and the Supreme Court makes sure the laws are fair. The kids spent time making up their own laws and writing them down. We took all those laws and made a chart, from which we picked four silly laws and four serious laws. We are holding a Supreme Court hearing to see if the proposed laws should be passed.
One of the silly laws: : "Second grade should eat Mochi ice-cream every Wednesday for breakfast."
Serious law: "You should never open the door for strangers."
This is great hands on activity, and the kids are having a great time doing it.
Supreme Court Judges
Congressmen and Women
They are telling the judges why these new laws must be passed.
