The Incredibles students are working very hard on learning some tough abstract concepts in Civic, topics like federalism, separation of powers, and checks and balances. It won't be long before we have a test on these concepts and then we will begin looking closely at all three branches of government.
Students are encouraged to stay up on current events, because everything that happens in the news can be tied into our civics lessons. Many times, we use these topics as a jumping off point to our lesson that we are covering that day or week in class.
