3 Branches of Government

We started talking about the role of each of the three branches of government.  It was a little confusing for use to keep it all straight.

We watched a couple of cute videos to maybe help straighten it all out for us.

We started working on creating some graduated flash cards that will tell us who is in charge of each branch, what the power of each branch is, and why the each branch is important to our government functioning smoothly.  

We really discussed checks and balances and why it is important that no branch is more powerful than the other.
