Constitution Day is commemorated on September 17th.
But how do you explain the Constitution of the United States in language young
children can understand? Well, the Constitution is a set of rules to keep
EVERYBODY safe! Introducing the concept of the Constitution in VERY simple
terms usually gets the general idea across that four, five, and six year olds can relate to.
One of the ways we do this is by creating our own classroom
Constitution. The children work together to come up with a set of class rules
that ensures everybody in the class will have a chance to learn and be safe
(and have fun!) while they are at school.
When the rules are agreed upon, everybody takes turns signing the
classroom Constitution. We even have costumes to dress up like some of the
original signers of the Constitution! Check out the pictures!
