DC Government
Snook's Seniors February 4 - 8, 2019
Last week
Students took their first book quiz and we discussed the seven Constitutions of Texas. We also talked about the common myth that Texas can legally secede from the Union (they cannot - but they can divide into 5 states).
Students also selected a bill to track throughout the legislative session. They have picked some interesting ones, so make sure to ask what they have chosen. We continued following events in the national govenrment as we had some break throughs with the reopening of the government on Friday. The students had questions and I do answer them. I feel it is important for them to be prepared to be participants in our government.
This week
As you know, our country is definitely in a position of turmoil. While we are no longer in federal government, there are times we will switch our focus. I believe that the students need to understand what is going on at the national level, and there are definitely some new challenges facing us. They have a lot of questions, ad we are learning together (much of our current situation is very new ground). We will be watching the state of the union, and responding to it in a discussion question. Please encourage your child to watch this on Tuesday night. When we watch it together, we will be dissecting elements and I would like for them to have seen it once first.

College Acceptance
If your child is not going to college and chooses a trade or military service, please let me know that as well. That is also worth celebrating. We don't want to leave anyone out!
