Fifth grade AIG students at New Century International Elementary recently had the privilege of having Representative Rick Glazier visit their school.  The students have been learning about the court system, the roles and responsibilities of courtroom officials, the branches of government, jury trial proceedings and concluded their unit of study with a mock trial of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Through their unit of study called “Jury Trials” and their culminating project, the “Wheel of Court”, the 5th grade AIG students have learned a lot about the judicial system!  During the course of study, the AIG teacher, Karen Bullard, invited Representative Rick Glazier to come to share with the class his expertise as a lawyer and Legislator. Representative Glazier greeted everyone with a warm smile and dove right in.  After a brief introduction, he began by sharing why we have courts, types of trials, types of witnesses, and talked about the important role that forensics plays in providing evidence.  The information, discussions, and questions throughout his visit were very informative and a huge success! Representative Glazier had the whole class in the palm of his hands eagerly wanting to learn more.
