Constitution Day

September 17, 1787 is Constitution Day. The birthday of the United States Constitution. Here are some ideas that you can try as a class. Also, check out last year's September blog posts for other ideas.

Standards
K- Identify the flag, recite the pledge of allegiance.
This is a great time to study our flag and pledge and what they symbolize and then write our own mission statement (pledge) that we will live by.  They can also create a personal flag or family flag to add to the personal section of the Leadership Binders.

1. Examine how individual rights are protected.

2. Explain the importance of the Pledge of Alllegiance. Analyze how being a citizen of the US makes a difference in  your community. (tie to our rights/freedoms)

Here is a link of a song that shares the rights our Constitution gives us.

 It is a great springboard for discussions, jigsaw groups, researching  and entering the poster contest. Even if you don't enter this contest, have one in your classroom, pod or grade level.
