I, Mrs. Natasha Smith, had the opportunity to teach Mrs. LaShonda Storr’s homeroom class Social Studies at Bethune Elementary. One of the fourth grade standards states that students should be familiar with the Articles of Confederation and the Bill of Rights. I decided to give them an assignment to tell me five things Congress should be able to do and five things Congress should not be able to do. They did so well on this assignment that I decided to send them to President Obama. About a month later, on Thursday, May 3, 2012 I received a letter back from him with some special gifts. He thanked the class for their interest in congress and that they did a wonderful job on the assignment. I am very proud of them!!
