In Social Studies we have been working on explaining how the principles of popular sovereignty, rule of law, checks and balances, separation of powers, and individual rights (e.g Freedom of religion, freedom of expression, freedom of press) serve to limit the powers of the federal government as reflected in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. And describing the purposes of government as identified in the Preamble of the Constitution. Give examples of ways the Constitution limits the powers of the federal government (e.g., election of public officers, separation of powers, checks and balances, Bill of Rights) Give examples of powers granted to the federal government (e.g., coining of money, declaring war) and those reserved for the states (e.g., driver’s license, marriage license).

The standards that were used were: 4.C2.0.1,  4.C2.0.2, 4.C1.0.3

Thank you,

Ms. Chantel

This week in ELA we discussed the differences between myths and legends. We read some examples and picked out story elements such as natural phenomenon, heroic qualities, problems and solutions. We finished up our spelling units this week and will get new lists next week.  This week in science we learn how volcanoes form due to plate tectonics. We looked at how quickly they can change the landscape and how scientists are still learning about them. We also talked about all the other natural hazards that occur on earth. We classified them into two groups; tectonic hazards and climatic hazards.  -Ms. Jamie
