Why do these worksheets cover both local and federal government?

Local Government for Kids asks students to find out about their own town's government, while The Three Branches of Government and Federal Government cover the national level, giving students two different scales of the same idea: government exists at more than one level, and different levels of government are responsible for different things. Comparing a student's own town government to the federal government helps make an otherwise abstract structure (three branches, checks and balances) concrete by anchoring one end of it in something local and familiar.

How does the First Amendment worksheet fit into second grade civics?

Learn the First Amendment introduces the idea of an amendment, a change added to the Constitution, through the first one specifically, which protects five freedoms, and has students unscramble the related words before answering questions. Teaching the First Amendment through its five concrete freedoms, rather than the abstract concept of a constitutional amendment in general, keeps the content accessible while still being historically accurate.
