INSPECTING the 20's and 30's

Today in class we took a look at the 1920's and tried to figure out just exactly what types of things were going on.  We used our INSPECT themes to classify the types of things happening so that later this week we can compare it to the 1930's!

The 1920's

Zoo Project

Today in class we talked about the zoo assignment based off of our trip to Miller Park Zoo yesterday.  All information about the assignment has been posted in Google Classroom.  Students will be looking into how different levels of law affect the zoo and its visitors.

Levels of Government

Today we reviewed federalism and added the idea of local government working alongside the federal and state governments.  As part of their zoo assignments, students will be exploring the zoo to find out how different laws, statutes, ordinances, and codes affect the zoo and those who visit it.  Students will be collaborating to find this information while they explore the zoo tomorrow!
