Hope you took time to learn about the Presidents during your day off honoring our country's leaders. This week we will be take time to study our last branch of government which is the Judicial System. Unfortunately, due to previous 2 hour delays and possible ones this week we may not get into as much detail as I had hoped. However, this is an area where I often find students have already followed news stories and resources due to our society's fascination with the justice system. I am confident you will continue to learn and seek out information on your own even after we finish our class. NOTE: Last week ended our Daily Dose of Government work. Please make sure all were turned in as of last week.
