Packed with information and fun activities, “Ben’s Guide to
Government” is a great place to review for the citizenship portion
of the 6th grade proficiency test. Sixth grade Teachers, don’t overlook
the K-2 section to review the American symbols and the 3-5 section on
the branches of government. Eye appeal found here.

This is perfect for the 5th grade student studying U.S. History. The lesson

exercise.
