Are you looking for some last minute Constitution Day activities (September 17th)? I read Natalie’s post and remembered that I have this idea on my lesson plans for tomorrow!
After learning about the Constitution, I send home a letter inviting my students to make a Family Constitution.
Here are a few examples of some Family Constitutions from last year:

I love hearing other teachers' ideas for Constitution Day. I'm celebrating with my class on Monday, but I can't wait to post all of the pictures and outline from our day!
I really like the idea of asking students to take what they learned about our country's constitution and create their own with their family. We made a classroom constitution, but I still think this would be a great project!
Thanks for sharing
