Social Studies
In Social Studies we will learn about many historical events. We just finished a unit about the three branches of government. They are called the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches. The Executive branch is the President and the Vice President. They carry out the laws. The President can also veto or ratify the laws passed by Congress. He also writes the budget.
The Legislative branch is the branch that passes the laws. They are also the only branch that can declare war.
The Judicial branch interprets the laws and decides if they are unconstitutional. Supreme Court justices get appointed their job for life, unless they decide to retire.
Learning more about the three branches of government and the Constitution helped us learn more about our country.
