Students are introduced to the three branches of the US government. Students learn the branches, the jobs within those branches, and are given a visual using photographs of the places that represent these three branches. There is also a link to a Schoolhouse Rock video about the branches of government.
The second part of the PPT introduces the levels of government (national, state, county, and local). It describes each level, the government representatives, and the jobs within each level.
I have been teaching for 8 wonderful years. I have taught 2nd and 3rd grade. I love them both! I have taught all types of students and welcome them into my classroom with open arms.
