We have spent the past two weeks in social studies discussing citizenship and government. We learned that a citizen is given certain rights as a member of a community (right to vote, to speak your mind, to change your name). The government provides schools, roads, hospitals, and utilities to help us have healthy and productive lives. In return, we have certain responsibilities to help each other. We will complete a project to help the common good in a few days.
We also discussed the inner workings of a city council and the mayor. We divided into council groups to name our town and discuss important city issues. We learned how hard it was to listen to others and to compromise when necessary. We also that the mayor of a city has a very difficult job as he/she must negotiate the city council to pass rules and laws.
