Welcome to Civics!!  We will take an in-depth examination of the roles American citizens, including students, play in our political and econnomic systems.  We will develop a strong understanding and appreciation of the basic principles of government and economics.  We will build a solid Social Studies and academic vocabulary.  We will build thinking skills that support the ability to challenge assumptions, think creatively and solve real-life problems.  And of course, we will HAVE FUN!
