LANSING — Fourth graders at Leonard Elementary visited the Michigan State Capitol building in Lansing last week.
The visit connects the third and fourth grade curriculum about the three branches of government – executive, legislative and judicial – and Michigan’s history. The trip gave the 35 students who went a firsthand look at what they have been studying in school.
Rep. Josh Schriver (R-Oxford Twp.) met with students, telling them what his job as a state representative entails and answered questions.
After touring the capitol building students visited the Michigan History Museum.
