Our U.S. Constitution unit is HiStOrY! (I know, you're all thinking how clever Miss Mitchell is!) This is the hardest test of the year! There are no "matching" or "true & false" questions.

We are currently studying the US Constitution and government. We will be having a mock Legislative session, where we will make bills and try to pass them into laws. These were some of the posters from "Campaign Day."
This has nothing to do with campaigning, but look at this COOOOOL flag our class made in art!
