It wouldn't let me leave another comment, but on the Representative Democracy voting page (pg 3) Candidate C states "keep school hours and the same" - and needs to be removed. Also on the 3 Branches fill in chart, the Bonus for each branch says "give any additional facts about the legislative branch" and should have been changed to the branch it coincides with. Thanks!!
Thank you so much for letting me know! I've corrected it!

You have the American Government packet and the 3 Branches of Government project (the one with the trees from your blog). The Packet states that it contained the branches project. Is that the same project as the one sold separately for $1.50? I didn't want to buy that one if it was repeated in the packet with the rubric. please let me know. Thanks!!
Yes, it does have the 3 Branches Project so you don't need to buy that.

I recently purchased this packet(American Government Activities and Worksheets), which is wonderful, but I found a typo on page 38. It says "What do you think we need a government?" instead of why. Since I am unable to correct it, is there a way that you could? Thank you for any help!!
I've been teaching for 8 years and think I have the best job in the world! I've taught 3rd and 4th grades and love developing curriculum and activities for my students.
