For social studies we have been studying government.  The fourth grade class was broken up into six groups.  Each group was assigned a government poster topic.  This was the cumulating project for the fourth grade for the government unit.  The poster topics were Introduction to Government (including the definition of government, different types of government, and who the government represents and provides services for), Michigan’s Government Structure (research to get names of those who serve Michigan’s government), Local Government (including the braches of government and who makes up each branch), State Government (including the three branches, who makes up each branch, and what each branch’s responsibility is with laws), How a Bill Becomes a Law (including the steps of the process), and National Government (including the branches and who makes up each branch).  Each group had to present their poster to the class.  We are displaying them in the hallway soon, so come check them out when you can.  They did a great job and learned a lot about government!
