Constitution Day

The fourth graders have rewritten the US Constitution!  Well, not exactly... To celebrate Constitution Day (September 17th), the fourth graders read the Preamble to the Constitution.  Then using our dictionary and vocabulary skills, we worked in pairs to rewrite the Preamble in "kid-friendly" language.

We, the people, in order to…

make a better group,

make equal rights,

make sure our homes and families are calm,

bring supplies for the usual fights,

help grow the health of many,

and keep safe the hopes of freedom for

us and future generations,

make this Constitution for the United States of America.

~The Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America

(in fourth grade language)
