Mrs. Bridge's 2nd Grade Government Blog

Our class wanted to answer the question: How does the government impact ME? We learned about several different aspects of government, including government service jobs, general government information like elections and the voting process, government functions and buildings, and government roles. Each student chose one area that they felt impacted them, and created a blog post. We learned so much along the way, and had some amazing guests visit our students!

White house (Government Building)

By: Grant

The white house is a symbol of American democracy. A contest was held in 1792 to design the white house. The white house has 132 rooms and 32 bathrooms. British soldiers set fire to the white house during the war of 1812. The White House is on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington D.C. Every 4 years the United States elects a president. The White House impacts me because the president needs to live there!

Grant - It is amazing to me that the White House has 132 rooms! I would love to live there, but it would be very hard to keep it clean.
