What's+up+in+Social+Studies?

**Social Studies** This year, we have been learning about taking part in our democracy. We are looking at how we make decisions, how decisions are made at the different levels of government in Alberta, and how we can affect change as students in our communities. Please have your child look in newspapers and magazines to find articles related to democracy and government, and bring them to school. This year, we will be using an interactive notebook. This will be a big help for studying and reviewing for tests. I expect the students to take it home almost daily to complete a refection exercise.
