Our Local Government

On Thursday morning, we took a trip to the Colchester Town Offices and Public Works.  Our learning began when we brainstormed what we knew about each department and did some research on the Town’s website.  Next, we thought of some good questions we could ask while we were there.  It was a wonderful trip and the weather cooperated for our walk to and from school.  When we returned, we went back to our brainstorming sheet and wrote down what we learned.  Finally, we put our learning into a Google Presentation, with a slide for each department we visited and a picture to go with it.  We hope you will enjoy it:  https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/17Ro0tJdxcD5xbJwmsxnLehABND0SU_oFceEV0tR3LuE/edit?usp=sharing
