Week of 4 April 2010

Welcome back, I hope everyone had a good and restful break. If you were out on Monday last week, you missed the conclusion of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington - no I am not going to show the end of it again, we need to keep moving. Speaking of keep on moving, we are into Unit 4B: Executive and Legislative Branches. This week we will focus our attention primarily on the executive branch, the work of the president both here and abroad. We will also be watching the movie Dave. It is a cute movie starring Kevin Kline who fills in as President and must learn the job on the fly. I am sure you will enjoy it. I am also planning a current event activity - more on that when we get to it.
