RESOURCES FOR CONSTITUTION DAY CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES

Please share with classroom teachers.

To mark the anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787, Congress has asked that educational institutions take one day to teach the document that shaped America's democratic government. In support of students and teachers in their studies, a variety of online resources are available from the Federal Resources for Educational Excellence (FREE) web site. Additional resources are available from the National Archives and Records Administration and the National History Education Clearinghouse. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/policy/fund/guid/constitutionday08.html.

Also, on Constitution Day/Citizenship Day, schools are encouraged to participate in "Pledge Across America."
