wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) I want to take a break from regular school that week and do long activities for Constitution week. If possible I would like ideas for both a 3rd grader and a 7th grader. I would like this to include as many subjects as possible. Any ideas for crafts? books? anything at all is greatly appreciated! The 17th is Constitution day, (and it is friday!!) So something extra special/fun for that day would be GREAT!! We live only 45 mins from Mount Rushmore, so we might take a field trip there! Any other ideas? Edited August 5, 2010 by wy_kid_wrangler04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmith Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I've been looking at this: http://www.nccsstore.com/A-More-Perfect-Union-Education-Package/productinfo/AMPUED/ I would like some fun ideas, too. I was planning of kicking off a few months of "American Studies" that week, since we won't be doing American History for a while. I ordered States and Capitals from Memoria press, since ds needs a refresher. I also bought these from currclick: http://www.currclick.com/product_info.php?products_id=36272&it=1 That's all I have so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But dh does not have vacation time until next summer (he just started a new job in March) and that is way to far for us to :auto: to. Someday we would like to though! We have talked about it many times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhjmom Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 http://constitutingamerica.org/links.php I bookmarked this but haven't had time to check out all of their links yet. It looks like some good resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
