Friday, September 17th, was Constitution Day! We learned many things about the Constitution including what it is for, who helped write it, and when and where it happened. A simple PowerPoint presentation was used to teach this along with a book, We The Kids. We also looked at photographs of the Constitution at http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/charters.html. We worked together to make our own Playground Constitution with rules we should follow on the playground. Each student worked hard to follow directions to create a TLC quilt square. We put them all together and created our Playground Constitution Quilt complete with our rules and each student's signature.
What a great idea! I envy all of the creative/cute projects you are able to do in your classroom! My school district keeps us to a very regulated daily pacing guide that doesn't allow for much wiggle room!
