Constitution Day

Friday September 16 was Constitution Day. UMS students celebrated with an assembly led by Mrs. Barnett's class and discussions in class about what the United States Constitution is (we discovered that it is really like a list of rules for everyone who lives in the United States). This was great learning for everyone at the time of the year when we are all creating rules and expectations in our classrooms. Our class talked about why our country has rules and what some of them are. We talked about why people everywhere need to have rules and decided that rules really help us to stay safe, have fun, and learn new things! We then charted our three school rules (Be Safe, Be Kind, Do Your Best) and spent a week writing lots of examples for what it looks and sounds like when we are doing each one. We will put these on a poster, sign them, and hang them on the classroom wall to refer to all throughout first grade!
Below are some Constitution Day photos.
