7th grade social studies 2011-12

Dear Parents and Students,

I am sorry I missed class on Tuesday as I was at a "Celebration of Life" service for Edmund Brelsford, Rory and Luke Cuerdon and Willa Dana's grandfather, and a long time supporter of TGS. All five of his children attended school here.

I will be seeing you all on Friday.

The homework assignment was to define these terms as they pertain to the U.S. Government

*separation of powers
*checks and balances
*legislative branch
*executive branch
*judicial branch

In class on Friday we will finish up any loose ends and begin our marathon reading of the U.S. Constitution and the 27 Amendments to it .

Then a break from homework for the Faire weekend. Thanks very much to parents and students for the donation of your time for this event !

Steve
