Our Wildcats spent the day learning about the Constitution in fun and creative ways! Fourth graders enjoyed a visit from the Daughters of the American Revolution, who read to them and shared about the Constitution. In Art, students created their own Constitution, PE students participated in Preamble Relays, and REACH classes watched a video and learned why the Constitution is important.

Our 4th Grade DLI students learned about the parts of the Constitution and made an edible flag! 🇺🇸

A special thank you to the parents who brought the Constitution-themed treats for our teachers! ❤️🐾🇺🇸
