Happy Birthday, America! Wait, why would I say happy birthday to America in September? Learn why America began its life as a country in September and not in July. This one-time class meets the education requirement for yearly learning about the purpose and powers of the United States Constitution. Students do not need to have any prior knowledge of the Constitution to be successful in this class. This class uses an outside interactive application (Nearpod) to teach about the purpose of the Constitution. Students will learn why it is so important that it is put into an underground vault each evening.

I am a highly-qualified teacher of history for grades elementary through grade 9. I have taught in a public classroom for over 15 years. I have had the opportunity to complete a teacher workshop at the National Archives. Bringing students to see the Constitution was always an honor for me as a teacher who planned the educational trips for my school. I look forward to teaching your child about the Constitution.
