United States Government

One of the ways Miss Garrido's fifth graders are preparing for the 5th grade New York State Social Studies test is to learn about our government. We prepared a Power Point slide in computer lab to teach our classmates about something having to do with government.  Mrs. Hongell, our computer teacher, put them all together into one presentation and we gave the presentation to our class mates. It helped us to share what we had learned with others. We hope you like our work.
