Lovin' The Homestead
September 17 is recognized in the United States as Constitution Day and Citizenship Day. The purpose of Constitution Day and Citizenship Day is to commemorate the creation and signing of the supreme law of the land and to honor and celebrate the privileges and responsibilities of U.S. citizenship for both native-born and naturalized citizens. Federal law requires that all schools receiving federal funds hold an educational program for their students on September 17 of each year.
Since most kids in school should be learning about the Constitution today, I think its a great idea for us all to learn a bit more about it! These are mostly lesson plans, but I find elementary level lessons to be just about right for me.

This lesson is a great way to understand the USA's Republican government.
