Chapter 12 Social Studies Study Guide
November 10, 2008
Dear Parent(s),
We have been studying
"Our Nation and the World" in social studies. In this chapter the students have learned some abou the government
of Netherlands. During this time we compared the different parts of their government to the government of the U.S.A. We have
also learned how countries of the world work together. On November 18, 2008, there will be a test over the information learned.
Please use the facts below as a guide when studying. They will bring home their social studies journal on Thursday. We will
be using them until then. The test is vocabulary, short answer, and multiple choice. The underlined information on 108 is
what students should remember.

the United Nations work togther to solve problems between two nations.
