Page 6 Terrier News WHAT?? WE HAVE RIGHTS? By: Mrs. Davis The fifth and sixth grade students are diving into the way our government works. They are learning about the first ten amendments to the Constitution and being quizzed with scenarios that include an amendment. They have discussed whether something is admissible or inadmissible, based on what the Bill of Rights says. Sometimes the hypothetical situations are a bit tricky and if they don't read it carefully, they will not get it right. We have learned a lot about how different parts of the government interpret certain amendments. The three different branches and what they do are also in the works. I think that knowing how your country works is the most important part of this unit. They are using the amendments through the scenarios and are learning and having fun. Hello from the Health Office. One issue that I would like to highlight is Tick season is upon us. I sent home printed information about prevention, identification, what to do if exposure occurs. If you you would like more information you can access a link on the BFMS website: https://sites.google.com/a/wnesu.com/bfms-health-office/ You can also contact me if you did not receive the information and I will send more home with your child. For those of you who received a referral ]\
